...and wow. HUGE pain to adjust. In order to raise or lower the cockpit, all derailleurs and brakes must be completely de-cabled. The brakes are hydraulic, so those need to be cut. If you're not versed on bleeding brakes, get there.
If you have clients that are purchasing a P5, don't finish the build (or call the selling shop and advise not to finish the build) until the fit is done. You'll need to completely re-cable both the derailleurs and hydraulic brakes after the fit. I think I'll add a $75 surcharge on this bike. Today's client paid an extra $100 of his own accord--4hrs for a Retul fit because we did so much cutting and mechanic work. Any others out there like this?
That said, the bike is beautiful. Cervelo did a nice job on this one. Unless you're the fitter.
