Honestly guys, this is really mean.... :(
I had the bike pictured below. I absolutely loved this bike. It was perfect. When the new P3C came out I sold this bike and bought a P3C. I love my P3C.
Here's the problem. As I mentioned, when I got the P3C I sold the P3SL. Mistake. Some fellow out there has it, it may be one of the bikes in these photos. My fault. I sold it. Stupid move. I should have kept it. It was the most advanced aluminum tri bike I had ever been on, one of the best tri bikes
period that I have ever been on and I loved the stealthy, black "hardball" paint scheme. I loved that bike. The pragmatic side of me told me I didn't need two tri bikes at the time, so I sold to someone here in the classifieds on ST. Duh. Big mistake selling that even considering how much I love my P3C.
Now, I am capable of learning however. I have
not and will not sell my P3C. I've learned my lesson. I have a P4 coming... but I am also keeping my P3C because I've had so much success with it and I've learned to never let go of one of these when you get one you like.
Another thing I've learned about long-term relationships with bikes (and people): A good bike stays good so you should hang onto it. People change so you never know what to expect. When you find a good bike hang onto it. When you find a good person, expect a change....
Here is my P3SL:
and my newer P3C that I still own:
