"It took me 3 years to finally settle on the P2SL and by that time, the P2C came out. I deliberated over these 2 bikes, but only briefly. The P2C is flashier but make no mistake, the P2SL is by no means inferior to it in any way. And best of all, for 2008 the P2SL Ultegra model is a world class tribike that can be had for the entry level price of 1750CND."Machiavelo
Ease of use
It is a fantastic bike but a bicycle nonetheless and is as easy to use as any other.
Quality of Construction
The quality of Cervélo bikes is legendary and the P2SL is no exception. The paint is exceptional.
Fit
It took me 3 years to narrow my choice down to the P2 and fit was a large factor in my selection. This bike fits me like a ... bike! I was, of course, fitted for it prior to buying it.
Comfort
This is most comfortable bike I have ever ridden, in or out of the aero bars.
Adjustability
Adjustable seat, aero bar and rear wheel make this bike comfortable for almost everyone. I say "almost everyone" because I know that there is always an exception to everything.
Durability
I've only had it for 2 years but so far this bike is as good as the first day I received. There are no squeaks anywhere in the frame, nothing has worked itself loose and the DA components are all working perfectly.
Value
No complaints! Even though I could purchase a P2SL for 1750CND w/Ultegra or a w/DA for 2250CND today, I feel that I made a wise choice in buying this bike in 2006.
Appearance
Gorgeous! What else can one say about the P2SL
Customer Service
Excellent. The guys I deal with are very friendly. Although I have yet to have anything done on this bike, service from this shop is legendary in my area.
Performance
This bike practically pedals itself on the flats and is pretty darned nimble on the climbs also.
Strengths
Light, responsive and solid. The drivetrain is solid as a rock, transmitting all energy to the wheels.
Weakness
The Easton wheelset is a bit heavy. (not a problem for me though)

Ease of installation
I bought this bike all set up and ready to use. All I had to do was attach my new Ultegra pedals and I was off.
