"While I only had her for a few months, I loved this bike, and am very upset with that old lady in the Taurus who hit me and my P3, ending a beautiful relationship. Can't wait to start another once I get the insurance money."steel099
Quality of Construction
Bike held together and went fast - can't ask for anything more.
Fit
LBS let me try a few bikes - I liked this one, they took some measurements to make sure it fit me, and it did.
Comfort
I was set up pretty aggressively on her, spending a long time in aero position took some adaptation on my part.
Adjustability
She adjusted well enough to fit me, so I'll give it a 5.
Durability
Got a few surface defects in the frame from general use - nothing major, one did need some extra epoxy (bottom bracket when my chain slipped). I'm not going to give her any lower mark than a 4 for losing a fight with a Ford Taurus.
Value
I could have gone with a less expensive bike (the P2) and been almost has happy - but when I rode the P3, I knew I had to spend the extra $
Appearance
What's not to like about a black bike?
Customer Service
Pending on this - seeing how the Cervelo Crash Replacement program works.
Performance
Incredible feel to the bike - with some extra training, was able to bring my race averages up 3-4 mph on this bike vs. my roadie, and put down some nice bike splits.
Strengths
Very light, very aero, sexy, good components
Weakness
Stock wheels were ok - hopefully I can afford to put some Zipp's on my next one. My first carbon frame - I freaked out every time I found anything that looked like a defect, afraid that it would make the frame unsafe, but I think that's life with a carbon bike.
