Hi all,
After getting a Retul fit last month I'm in the market for my first tri specific bike. Gonna do the IM in Frankfurt next year :-)
I was quite sure I was going to get the Cervélo P2, especially since the black version came out. However, due to the dollar getting stronger, the bike is more expensive than it was last year.
Next to that, Felt came up with a great alternative: the IA 14. The IA 16 would have been even better but it seems that we are going to wait a little bit longer - it's not on the website yet...
However: another bike shop turned out to have a great deal. They can offer me the Cervélo P3 for the same price I can get a P2 at other shops. It's a model that has been on display at two bike shows, but other than that it's a brand new (and 100% original) bike. Probably the P3 is a bit too much for me as I'm definitely MP, but I think it's by far the best looking bike out of the three.
Fitwise all three bikes are in the list of models recommended by the fitter.
Just curious what you guys think of this. Anything I should pay attention to or take into account?
