Your bike makes baby Jesus cry

ouch my eyes!! hydration nightmare, cable housing, small ring, rear light, all on a WC colors P3. yikes.

what version of the p3 is this? I can't seem to find it anywhere..is it custom painted?

it's the World Champion version so it has the rainbow stripes of the WC jersey painted on it. cervelo did a limited edition run of them after fabian cancellara won his first world time trial championship on his P3C. you can find them on ebay every once in a while. people complain about cervelo's boring paint schemes but they've done limited edition frames like this one, the olympic rings on the S3, and the 100th anniversary giro d'italia RS.

What saddle bag were you using in that pic? It looks very compact and a good fit. My rails are about there and I might like to try whatever you had. Thanks!

Here is my ride. I was not the most flexible when I bought the bike and plan on removing spacers this year as I change out componentry. Still a decent drop. Right now it is a SRAM/Campy hybrid.

Why did you buy a P3 if you cant ride it as it was designed? Just wondering.

I was sized and fit by a shop specializing in fitting and I trusted their assessment. The 'fitter' at the time indicated I should continue to work on flexibility, which I have improved on quite a bit. When I purchased the bike, I did not know any better as I was transitioning from being a pure cyclist and had not really paid too much attention to time trial frame setups. I did not care if I purchased a P3/P2/Trek TTX/etc. I assumed (incorrectly) that going to a reputable shop with a reputable 'fitter' would result in the sale of a bike that fits me properly. I have not gotten around to lowering the front end as I have been comfortable on the setup (completed first 70.3 this year without problems) and have had good results on the bike.

Interestingly enough, the same person who 'fit' me on this bike is still busy 'fitting' people on this board (think Treck SC thread).

Regardless, it is still a very fast bike, I am comfortable, and I plan on making some changes. I don't think I'll ever get down low in the front as some people, especially considering the height of my seatpost...

I don't think the P3 was a terrible choice for you, the Oval bars are about as low of stack as any bar out there. Something with a high stack would probably be a bit better combo for you and that bike.

I'm guessing with a 3T ventus, or maybe any syntace you could cut down on half or more of those spacers.

That makes more sense. Is the fork a carbon post? I would worry more about snapping myself. The same thing happened to me on my first bike. So this one I fit myself nicely on. IMO flexibility has little to do with drop. Really it seems more like just tilting yourself foward more(moving saddle up, lowering front end). How does that seat feel? It hurts just looking at it. Like the other person side I would get a higher stack aerobar(v.t. or p.d. are cheap), that way you could still have the same amount of drop with less spacers.

Here's mine. 51cm frame bought from a fellow forum member, then built up with Red, Bontrager XXX bars, Cosmic Carbon front, HED3 rear with a conversion to HED3 disc performed by another forum member (really cool wheel!). Just under 18 pounds as pictured.
