Thanks! Unfortunately I have yet to ride it this year. I'm a new dad, and trying to find time to do anything byond caring for baby and mom, and some sleep is pretty complicated. Hope to do a late race or two this year, but I will definitely be a fat guy on too fast a bike. Ha!

QR Lucero with a Plasti-Dip Makeover

Maybe not quite bike porn, but I finally got the wheels I have been saving up for. Completely transforms the bike, imo. Now, to overhaul that engine (and get a black saddle) :-)

Finally done with the P5 minus bar tape. I've been logging miles on the S5 for about a month now.

Love the P5 paint scheme!!

Love the p5 colors. A drastic improvement.

Thanks. Gotta give credit to the guys at Hot Tubes!

what gearing you running?

Nice P5

Im assuming you're asking about the P5. 48 and 11-28. It's a 48 frame so the chainring may seem larger than it actually is. Hehe

What extensions are those? Are they in backwards?

yes
I'm running a 48 x 12-27
that paint job on the P5 looks great

They're zipp vuka alumina 110mm rise. It's installed the normal way

Those look really good - I'm thinking about them myself. Any chance you have a picture in the extensions to see the angle?

Nice work - gorgeous bike!

The cover looks really good. How did you attach the VR bottle?

The lower portion of the VR bottle holder (the universal version) was modified so that it matched the frame and then a base piece of plastic was glued to the VR bottle holder so that it could mount to the pre-drilled holes that are included on the P3 frame. Then the VR bottle itself was cut on the bottom so that it sat include the modified VR bottle holder. I use duck tape and velcro to hold the bottle in the holder.

I cannot take credit for the VR bottle modification. It was completed by an individual named Zach Boring who is pretty active on this forum. I was just lucky enough to buy it from him and painted it matte black to match my frame.

Kinda sorta. No glue thought. It's all melted together using a soldering iron using the felt version of the VR

Thanks for the clarification Zach!

Just getting started with the P2, but I absolutely love it. Upgraded to a Profile Prosvet bar and Zipp 808s and will likely do a power meter next. If TriRig ever releases their new stem, I may upgrade to one of those and a TriRig brake to clean up the front end. May switch over to the Torhans Aero 30 when they release the new leakproof bottle in a few months.

Thanks again.
