I just picked up a new P3SL, well its in the fitting but all the same got to play with the new bike. What struck me is that for 3300 bucks you get a great frame with a spray job / powder coat that will last a long time and not rot with sweat.
But here are the gripes,
1. The brakes whilst looking OK will suffer that same problem as 105 brakes in that they will rust badly.
2. The velomax wheels are in essence "training wheels" but I do all my training on a road bike so why do I need another useless pair of end of the pot wheels.
3. The aerobars have no play in them, no fore, no aft, nothing, how do I fit into this mold?
so here is the quandry.. why do I get sub par parts on a good frame? anyone know the answer? or am I simply a marketing analysist dream?
