Bike looks great! I heard the guy you bought the frame from is a real stud.

Thanks! Used the Jeffp approach and used a noodle. Worked perfectly with minimal fiddling

Thanks! Definitely

Very sexy ride (I have the same frame :P) May I ask which adapter are you using for Ultegra crankset?

Dialed in have about 100miles on it

Nice...
Have you had any grief setting up your eTap with the Osymetric rings.

I believe it is a Kogel ceramic bottom bracket.

I love how the P4s are making a come back! Built one up myself.

Got a great team deal on some DI2...so I went ahead and drilled out one of the cable stops on the top tube, then one of the bottle bosses under the P4 water bottle...had to dremel out the FD cable hole slightly...but have everything internal but the RD cable I have count out from under the rear brake cover, then taped under frame going back to RD. Drilled small hole in the bottom of the water bottle for e-tubes, have an internal battery and the junction b inside the water bottle...with enough slack in the tubes to be able to get them un-plugged and out through the drinking spout if it was ever necessary. I then stuffed some bubble wrap in though that spout to keep everything from moving/rattling...these are my everyday wheels...will race with zipp 900 tubular...so I won’t really ever need to mess with the rear brake width for different size wheels...

Very Nice !

Not really nowadays as I got used to it. I've been using it to all my bikes.

I think my bike has evolved to its final form! I bought this p3c with dura-ace a year and a half ago for $550 shipped and rode it that was until my front fork got cracked in a run in with a car. I replaced it with a p5-3 fork and went over to a Sram force 1x setup, including getting rid of the front derailleur hanger. Added some chinese carbon wheels, a wheelcover, and an Omega X last summer. When the time came for the bars to be replaced I got a good deal on this Vision setup and threw on some Zipp Evo Aluminas to get more of a praying mantis position finally. While replacing my bars I decided to take the plunge and do the top tube mod, drilling a hole just behind the stem and routing my only derailleur cable through it. Definitely adds to the cleanliness of the front end. In total I spent right around $2000 on the entire setup: speed on a budget.

I just finished some upgrades. 2014 P2, now with Force 1x. I also modified the Vukashift extensions to get a little more angle on them--17 degrees from the pads to the shifters.



I've been tempted to buy a new bike this winter (since I haven't for a few years now), but instead built up my 2006 P2C frame as a road bike with a complete Dura-Ace 7800 group I had in the closet. Some new Flo 60 CCs, and it turned out really nicely.

...and the "Taint of Steel 2018" award goes to...!

Seriously, neat P2. Healthy amount of reach you have there. What arm cups are those? Look nice and supportive.

Nice bike! I like the mods you did.

I have a similar looking P2...Get some white electrical tape to cover that FD hole up!! That black sticks out like a sore thumb!

Thanks! Those are the Vuka cups; I can't remember now if they came with the bar or extensions, but they're whatever Zipp ships.

All I had on hand was black Gorilla tape. Next trip to the hardware store....

Here is my Walser designed Focus Izalco Chrono. Not yet done upgrading, and shown here with training wheels.

Any pics of you on the bike? I'm considering the Zipp Alumina 110s and would love to see more pics of them in use to get an idea of the hand position. How do you like the bars? Ever feel too high?

Haven’t seen too many Tacticals posted. Here’s mine after her maiden voyage:

Again with the super steep a seat angle... Bike looks fine otherwise.

Damn, Ronald.
