I will be interested to see your test results and hear your feedback. This is a reasonable and doable comparison since the two bikes actually can be set up identically position-wise. You have completely disarmed me of my "You can't compare the bikes only the fit" argument. You will be able to compare these two and an interesting comparison it will be. Havig said all that, both bikes are cool. I own a Rocket TT and have a P3 on order (along with a Yaqui Carbo and a Cannondale Saeco Team Replica). It's good to own a bike shop.

Tom, if bikes were women, you'd be the envy of us all!

I have given thanks to God every day these past three months that bikes are not women. That would be a horror.

Marcel, thanks for the link.

Tom, I hope I can get it right. The only thing I'm concerned about is Beam Deflection. Although that should be part of the test even if it does tend to make me better on one bike than the other. I'm also very concerned about comfort.

I'm actually getting two P3's... I got a 57cm as a leftover 01 in the yellow (which I think looks better). But since I think I will need a 55cm I ordered it to, it is the silver 02. The one that doesn't work will have to go. I'm 5'10 and have a 32" inseam and my rocket is a Med, which seams a little small. I have it's brother (the R1) as my road race bike in a large which seems to fit a little better but then again it does not have aerobars..... I'll let you know what I come up with.

Clint,

FYI - I am 5' 101/2" w/ a 32" inseam. My P3 is 54 which I beleive fits me great! I think the top tube on the 55 is .5cm longer, which is pretty close, so you should be fine.

Can't wait to hear your test results. I had a Power V when they 1st came out. I really liked the bike, and I really like the P3 too.

5'10" 32" inseam and my P3 is a 54. It fits great!!!!!

Hey Moneybags, since you're stocking up on P3s, do you want to pick up a 58, give it a test drive then send it my way? ;)

You never know unless you ask...

I would but......Well the card is almost maxed.

Seriously though, you start to get some smokin deals when you buy two of these puppies. Plus one is a leftover....
