After much research I bought the P3Sl and went into my LBS to purchase it, I told them that I had been riding a 56cm frame and he said that I need to go with the 55cm frame, so without taking any measurements he ordered this frame for me and fitted it for me. But after riding it I knew something was wrong, it didnt feel right so I had another person do a bike fitting on me and he corrected all the screw ups, but something was still amiss so I went to another cervelo dealer for a third bike fitting and he took all my measurements and said that this bike is too small for me, he says the 58cm bike would have been a much better fit than what I had. He says that the the head tube is too small for me ( im riding in a non aggressive position therefore I have a lot of exposed stem) way to much for his liking, he says that i could (being a heavy upperbody rider 230lbs ) crack the frame at the head tube, wear out the bearings or crack the stem off, he even showed me how much it flexes which amazed me. And secondly because of my leg length the seat tube has to come way up, way too much for his likeing. So I asked him if cervelo would take it back in exchange for the right size and he says no but he say we can work with it and make the bike work, which he did. Im a little nervous riding this thing knowing the above what do you guys think.
