"A great tri bike that gives a real bang for your buck. It has the aero dynamics that everyone else tries to copy, this is the bench mark for tri bikes. The only thing better is a P3C or the new P4, but they cost big bucks."astro
Ease of use
The bike was quite easy to ride when I first tried it, after a few rides it starts to become a more controlled ride, at first it feels quite twitchy but this becomes manageable and then becomes unnoticeable. The bike handles very well and has great abilities due to it's aero dynamics so when going downhill I find that I can catch up to and over take other bikes (even while not pedaling)
Quality of Construction
The bike is solid and has given me no issues.
Fit
The bike was a perfect fit from day 1, I do hope to lower the front to get a better aero position in the future.
Comfort
The bike has been very comfortable and offers a range of positions which is of great use when climbing hills.
I changed the seat to an ISM seat to improve the comfort in the seat area, but many people are happy with the standard seat.
Adjustability
The front can be adjusted up and down as well as the seat post. The seat can be moved forward or rear using the 2 holes in the seat post, and then you can do minor adjustment of the seat forward and back. The angle of the seat can also be adjusted, is if you want to lower the nose it's possible. The aero bars could be adjusted slightly in or out.
Durability
After a year the only thing that has happened is one front spoke broke while coming back from a 50 mile ride.
Value
I think this is a great bike, full carbon, super aero, it looks the part and is ready for any triathlon, it's quite light weight.
Appearance
This is a great looking bike, mine is silver and grey/black with white logo. I have put white grip tape on the brake levers the only area of color is the seat post clamp in blue.
Customer Service
I have only had to contact Cervelo once and they responded promptly.
Performance
This is a real tri bike, 100% performance and it looks the part, lots of fun to ride.
Strengths
Aero dynamics that will save you time in any race, 100% carbon fibre, light weight, fast
Weakness
Climbing is harder than on a road bike, or so I have heard. But if you practice you can keep up then blow them away on the down hills.

Ease of installation
I bought this bike from Nytro over the phone. It arrived in a box, a large box. It was pre-assembled and required a simple put together. The wires for the brakes and gears were all connected so I just had to put the bars on. Then install the seat, quick simple. Put the wheels on and the pedals.
Then each piece has the torque tightening settings written on it, so I took it to my local bike shop and had them use a torque wrench to tighten the parts to the required degree.
