Get a nice paint job so it seems like you have a new bike

I hear ya brother. I have the same p3sl. Looking at moving over the to p2c if i can find a frameset on the cheap. but until then, i will keep riding the p3sl.
Hey, awesome advice folks, thanks, by whats been said I think I will stay with my P3SL for now. I think I will concentrate on more work on the engine. Well at least my wife will be happy!!!
Thanks again!!!
That frame is a classic…it has soul.
Dont sell!

No! Don’t listen to him! Sell it to me!! 
…man oh man I want one of those in 51cm 700c
i will trade my 55 p3sl for a 56 p2c.
If you want maximum soul in a 51cm P3sl, you need the P3sl 51cm in 650c. Gawd I loved that bike. I’m kicking myself for ever having parted with it.
Back when I was racing as a 50 year old, I did a 10 mile TT at 29.7 mph on that bike. That was a magical ride. That was a magical bike. I’ve spent tens of thousands since then chasing 0.3 mph additional. Never got it. Went the other way, instead. Got older, too.
in my household
I have a 58, 700c P3SL that has been to kona
and a 54, 650C P3SL that is BRAND NEW. Yes, brand new frame.

How’d you do that???!!!
Got really lucky on an ebay auction, I’m guessing.
call your local cervelo dealer. they stock some as warranty/crash replacements I guess. you could argue yours lost in a terrible accident and you MUST buy a new one
look how shiny!
Umm, I hate to break it to you…
ok p3 aluminum not SL
you don’t have to break it to me I already didn’t care

Is that your current set-up? How tall are you?
Jackmott … with about 10 cm of spacers and a +25 degree stem? WTF!!!
I was thinking the same thing, but I was being nice…

NOT MY BIKE!
relax, the chick that rides it is aero despite the lack of ‘drop’ =)
700C woulda fit her better but, the price could not be argued with!
likely story.
When I try to blame stuff on my wife it ALWAYS comes back to haunt me.
Yeah the 650c wheels make it look like a 58. That makes a bit more sense now…
always great to get a new bike

Slight hijack here, but what would folks say if the question was “stick with my 700c P2K or buy a Planet X Stealth frame”??? Same answers???
