Size?

Genius. Thanks.

Medium.

Thanks looking for an xl

Chicanery, what state are you located in? From what I'm reading, you're asking $1.6k for the bike, ready-to-ride minus rear brake, wheels, pedals and seat?

Any additional info on the frame, year, model?

I am in Portland, OR.

Bike comes with a free riot.

Price sounds fine for the parts mentioned. I can't eat shipping at that price though.

As she sits, 450mm reach to back of pads and 635mm of stack with 20mm of spacers.

Can only get below 615 by going with a different dust cap.

What year is the bike?

2013 I believe.

Would you sell just the Ventus bars?

I do still have them, and for the right cause, I will sell them. So, tell me your tail of woe!

I'd really like to save them for a Ventum build that I am planning, but I also *really* want to put Magura RT6 brakes on it, so...not compatible.

Well I can't say I have a tale of woe, but I was going to scrounge up some balls to try to incorporate those bars with my Magura MT8s using the converter. I've never seen it done so maybe you can help me break some new aero ground?

Magura RT8 on a Cervelo P2?

No, on a P5. I used to have Ventus on a P4 and loved them. Couldn't use them on my P5 because of hydraulic brakes but the converter gives me hope it could be possible.

So, since you have some shielding in front of the head tube, and behind the stem, it might be possible to make something not that crappy.

However, every idea I have come up with for placement and direction of the conversion box has been bad.

So I am going to recommend that you try the Ventus 2 bars instead. I have them on my Dimond with Maguras, and they are exceptional.

What levers did you use with Ventus 2? The main thing that makes Ventus 1 fast is the tiny levers. Do you want to sell your bars?

I'm using the Magura levers currently, as you don't need the adapter, which I believe would be completely impossible to hide on most bikes. You could possibly route both cables on extremely short housing into the converter in front of the head tube, then out of the converter and directly into the front brake. If you have a 3D printer, you might be able to print a new "beard" that would be able to hide a majority of the atrocity. The routing is VERY fixed on the Ventus, so there is not much flexibility for the front brake at least.

While it's true that the Ventus benefited greatly from the low FA provided by the tiny levers and resulting ovalized hand holds (especially after you get away from 0 degrees), I think you would find that the Maguras are quite good as well. Care was definitely taken to reduce drag on that front.

If you want to run the Ventus 1, you really need to drop the Magura brakes and go with a Tririg Omega X. The front housing will be completely hidden, and the rear can be routed out the edge of the beard and into the top tube pretty easily.

But, having both bars (and also an Aduro, Tririg Alpha X, etc), and bikes with both brakes, I would just go with the Ventus 2.

Now it's true, I am anal retentive about this stuff, but if you're rocking a P5 you should be too.

Ok thanks for the info. The reality is that I don't have a huge appetite to make an expensive mistake trying to make the converter work. You are the first person I've talked to that even has used it so thanks for your insight. I'm a little peaved that for every step forward bikes make (like the P5) there are always some steps backwards (like inferior bars, levers etc, no lower frame mounted box etc). I'm always searching for the best of all worlds, but that can get crazy expensive fast!

I agree that the Aduro is a less flexible bar than the Ventus that came before it. My understanding on the design reasoning was that 0 stack, and 5cm of stack were the two optimal quantities for the aerobar + arm interaction, and that the aero-matched spacers worked pretty well from a drag perspective. I used the Aduro on my Pearson (with Maguras), which I modified specifically to integrate that bar with no spacers, in the high-V mode. For this particular case, it's perfect.




The Ventus 2 bar is also perfect for the P5 though. I think you would be happy.

PM sent on bars.

Is the bike still available?
