Cervelo P4 ST fail	Can't Post

I was on the cervelo website and couldn't help but notice the large ST fail of the P4. The crank is facing the ground and it is halfway up the rear cog. Someone needs to contact those guys.

Wait until you see the posts when people try to fit sub-9 to it :)

Friend of mine looking to "invest" in a P4 informed me that the sub-9 is a no go. I called bs on it and he swears the folks at Zipp are well aware of this overlooked incompatibility. You'd think that Cervelo would have crossed this "T" and dotted that "I".....wow.

I was told at Interbike that the Sub9 will fit the P4. I was actually told by what I would think is a very reliable source.

Pez tech of Pez news mentioned on weight weenies that it was doable although consensus was that there is some rub when really levering the bike out of the saddle.

That would be a horrifying sound... A $1800 wheel rubbing on a $4800 frame...

I am just wondering then. Which is faster then, a P3C with a SUb9 or a P4 with some other wheel. Is the p4 still the "fastest" bike around?

No it is not - this bike is.

Riding that would certainly cut down on the number of riders drafting behind you. Wonder if I could ride it with fins on...

Its pretty cold up here now
Maybe riding behind that would be a nice change.
