You fancy the P5x because you think it will make you look like a cross between Chris Boardman and Tron, and you keep creating these threads hoping that the folks you respect on here will validate your choice. The problem is, it cannot be validated with data available today.Wrong. I keep making this threads because I'm interested in the turning point of Triathlon bikes which is the P5-X and the Andean. I'm fascinated with the how and why of bicycle design and I think it's fun to talk about.

The other thread where you started by posting a paper on aerodynamic "testing" and then backtracked to "I like the way it looks", and now this one, suggest to me that you just really really want Tom A to tell you it is ok, you made a good choice.While I respect his knowledge and have asked him questions in the past on the forum and in private message, I adopt the wait and see approach to disc brakes instead of dismissing them. Also, if you are referring to the thread where I posted pictures of Cervelo's test setups, yes, I like the way the P5-X looks. You may not? Do I care? No.

If jackmott still posted on here you would be sending him daily PMs with glossy soft-lit photos of disc rotors, mounted to a beam bike leading a race ahead of a triangular frame with 64 gels selotaped to the top tube, a 750ml round bottle attached crosswise to the seat tube, and probably a wicker basket full of flapjack hanging off the aero extensions. But lots of folk on here who understand the scientific method won't approve of your choice, if you decide to buy the P5x.Being an engineer, I think I have a solid grasp on the scientific method.
