Hi Johnek,

I asked him this morning. I'm sorry to report it, but we already have a lot of glossy handle bars and even more glossy seat posts. Looks like it'll probably be a long time before we change the finish on those parts. I haven't reached out to Hot Tubes yet, but I suspect Toby could spray a satin clear coat on request.

Cheers,

Hey Damon...would Tony be able to that for the bars - or just the seatpost?

Thanks for looking into this matter for us...

Hope you had fun at Eurobike!!!!

Hey Andy...did you get all gloss one? Sweet - do you have your full bike now? Awesome.

Please let me know what you think when you get Toby to whip that up - I will be super interested in seeing the pics and hearing your feedback - I know that you are "as particular" as I am!!!! ;-)

Cheers mate!

Damon

How does one request Toby to spray a seat post with satin - at a minimum I would want the seat post finish to match the frame finish - I ordered my P5 three a few weeks ago and will be getting a 2013 - I have not gotten an expected delivery date - am anticipating it sometime in Nov/Dec according to the dealer.

Hi, thanks for your post showing certain modifications to the P5. I was surprised to see that you had to do a special modification to get the Di2 shifting out on the bars where you use the brakes. I thought all Di2 systems allowed shifting at the end of the aerobars and also at the brakes. At least Di2 TT bikes that I've seen allow shifting at both positions, which is one reason I'd like to get a Di2 TT bike.

So the normal stock p5 does not have this feature?

We just built up Jo Lawn's 2013 P5 for Vegas and Kona-- it looks awesome!




A full gallery of 38 images, included how we custom modded the Di2 onto the hydraulic brakes, can be found here: http://www.theradsport.com/...per-mod-for-jo-lawn/

I got my 56cm P5-6 last Thursday and put ove 150 miles on it this past weekend. I thought mixing the matte black and gloss was going to look bad. But in person it looks pretty cool. This is a badass bike and it looks awesome as it came to me.

Question? Has anyone produced a small box that will go at the bottom of the frame to be used on that boss under the water bottle (where the P4 water bottle is)? I figured this would be a good spot for something integrated that would hold a tube and a few CO2s...
Torhans was supposed to have a bottle/storage unit, but I have not seen it yet.

After Cervelo contacted us for development ideas for P5 aftermarket storage units, we expressed interest in possibly manufacturing such a storage unit (as well as other units). However, we would first need detailed dimensional info for this area (of all frame sizes) to be able to proceed.

So perhaps Damon can chime in on whether the data is available ?
