After saving up for a P2k and finding they changed the colors I have narrowed my choice down to a saber or ironman 2000. I thought I wanted the P2k but the new colors on the 2004 just killed it for me and I dont want to pay extra to paint it like a 2003. Also I can't find a used 02-03 P2k anywhere. I am 6'1/2" tall, weigh around 176 and ride a 56cm road bike. I think my torso may be a little longer than some so I was leaning toward the 57cm saber over the 55. Also I have a 32" inseam but have very long arms so I tend to drop my bars lower than average. I have also the option of a new 2003 c'dale im2000, looks cooler but may be less aero and I already have 2 aluminum bikes so it might be cool to try a Ti one. My choice boils down to a lightly used 2001 saber and a brand new 2003 c'dale im2000 in 57cm and 56cm respectively. Components etc are irrelevant because I have a new dura ace grouppo I could put on either from my road bike and already have trispoke/disc etc. Essentially the question is which will allow a more aggressive aero postion/ which is more aero and thus faster. I think the saber is more aero than the im2000 but the im2000 may allow a more aggressive position and thus end up the faster bike. I can't decide so any input will be appreciated.
