So I finally got a chance to ride the P2C in full race gear, and it is SMOKIN'. I also got a chance to take a couple pics post-ride... Light conditions were quite nice here today.

 So while my previous thread was more grainy 70's porn, this should be a little higher quality.

I'm not usually one to name my bikes, but I think it's a "she." I'm not sure where you need to look on Cervelos just yet.

As for the ride, it's AMAZING. I feel like I'm still getting used to the position a little after years of being a roadie, but now that things are dialed in it's feeling great. When I'm doing my part she just flies.

My biggest surprise was with the Blackwells in the wind--they're much better-behaved in the crosswinds than I thought they'd be. My ride today was short but at a good tempo pace on a course with a couple short hills, and I averaged 21.7mph. I kinda treated this like a dress rehearsal gear-wise, so I was in the trisuit, aero helmet, race wheels, etc. It was fun.

The only aesthetic thing I think I'll change over the winter is the base bar. The Ovals are great as an initial bar for deciding what's comfortable, but I find myself wishing for a bit more drop on the horns when I'm climbing/cornering. But that's a minor thing.

Yeah, now if only my skill in propelling this bike forward would catch up with my skill in spending money.

Love that color. Is that a rubber band holding the shifter cables out of the way? Nice attention to detail.

Yeah, it is. I bought the bike from Competitive Cyclist, who did the build. Not only was it a meticulous build, but their packing and shipping were just incredible. I switched out the extensions and had to replace the shifter cables, but I just kept the same routing. I just can't say enough good things about CC... And if you look at their inventory, the P2C is on the low end of what they carry.

What a waste of perfecting good carbon. Mail it to me and I'm make sure it's disposed of properly. I'll even pay shipping, just cuz I'm a nice guy and don't you to suffer any more.

I shipped it by FedEx overnight. It was $375. Lost the tracking number, though. Anyway, just send me the $375 and we'll be settled.

I didn't know this was an x-rate site... I'll have to post more.

Hmm... Do they make "he" versions of your cervelo?

Great bike. I love the wheels and am sad that Blackwell doesn't look like it's going to be around to make more off them

Lay it on its back and make sure it's happy.  At least, that's how my daughter figured out her bunny Dora is a boy.

Surprised I'll try that when I get home.... I'll have to find some Barry White to play while I'm at it.
