Hi all, have been doing tri's for the past 2 years (sprint and oly), and am looking to upgrade from my 1993 Giant Kronos. (yes you read that correctly) I've put a little money into the Giant to adapt it to tri's (pursuit bars, aero bars, relocated shifters, seatpost that can be flipped, new wheels, etc.) but would prefer not to put anymore money into it. Quite frankly the bike is a bit big for me as well, so really hoping to get a better fit. I'm debating what to do for a used bike and am fairly intrigued by the 2008 Litespeed Saber. I really kind of like the uniqueness, as well the qualities of Ti, but it seems for about the same price ($1500 - $2000), I can find something like a 2010 Cervelo P3. Both bikes are similarly equipped, Saber with Dura-Ace 7800, P3 with Ultegra. I've done a ton of reading around pros and cons of the different materials but I'm curious around everyone's opinions on race day performance between these two bikes (or other similar used CF's). Does one really offer a significant aero advantage over the other, or with the same wheels and rider, would the perform very similarly? I've obviously read what people think around ride quality of one material vs the other, I'm really more curious if I would be putting myself at a disadvantage by riding something like the Saber (again, really like the looks, uniqueness, and implied durability).

I'm ~6'-2" 165lbs so I'm looking at 57-58cm. I am by no means going to be a pro and simply want to be proud of my performance. I haven't really seen any recent threads on this topic so was curious on everyone's updated views.

Thanks so much for everyone's input!
