Dunno...haven't looked at it. But we also haven't seen final specs, have we?

@ campyrick...agreed that there does not appear to be any cable holes on the DT for the P3. I think it would be odd to upgrade one and not the other. OTOH, I guess they could use it to help drive more differentiation between the two models.

I would have thought they would have made that change awhile ago, though....

Short answer: no.

I'm less interested in the paint and more interested to know if Cervelo has introduced cable routing on the top tube a la P4/S2/S3/S5... anyone know?

I was just at lbs, because this whole cable routing thing has me all excited. I saw a higher resolution photo of the P3 (bad news) and could see the cable entry on the down tube in the black area. Oh well it was fun to think about getting one.

No

Any way you could re post the P3 pic? Tried to click on the link and it expired. I'm dyin here - trying to decide whether to buy my new P3 now or wait for the new one......been waiting 4 years for a new bike and want to make the right decision!

I'm with you...I got a rocking deal on a R5 build...the 2013s look downright gaudy

I wouldn't wait for a new P3, they are going up in price. I love the new paint, but not enough to spend 500 more.

I've been waiting long engh that I won't mind another 500. Overall build will run around 7-8K so I'll stomach it if I like it more. Just don't know what it looks like. Dying to see a pic. To tell you the truth, I hope I don't like it so I can go ahead and buy the frame now!

Nice!

Maybe thurn that thought around. Who would buy a bike that takes an extra 5, 10 or 20 watts to pedal at X speed? Not me. I buy the fastest bike my budget can afford. I produce so few watts that I need both of them (the watts) to do the best they can. These days, that's aboard a Cervelo.

I was going to buy a Tarmac but now that I've seen the new colors for the R series I'm going to hold out!

Interesting, $3,800 for a P3 and it *only* comes with Ultegra. I would hope for Dura-Ace at that price point. (Now go ahead and slam the Felt-Fanboy!)

I wish the R3 came with a little more pop of color, a little red wouldn't have been bad.

But, as with all other Cervelos, you're paying for the "knowledge" that it's the fastest frame you can buy. Felts are better "deals."

ETA: and Felts are obviously no slouch in the aero department. Their 2013 B series are going to be pretty dang sweet

Have they gone back to the profile bars as standard equip for next year? Liked the 3t set up quite a bit more. Hard to tell from that pic.

Yes. Much more adjustable.

I'm glad I purchased my R3 this year. That silver/grey R3 is scary looking.

At $2600 for a 105 build, that's a big price drop from the 2012 MSRP of $3150 for Rival (down from $3500) -- still, that paint job is just hideous.

Edit (Sept. 7): Cervelo updated their website and the paint job for the 105 version is different than the Ultegra version -- the 105 looks much better to me (no red/black "accents").
