And that frame is like 5 years old, lol.
Which was a knock off of the original p3 series from 17 years ago.

I was thinking that, but the P3 design was introduced more like 20 years ago. Either late 1999 or early 2000. Cervelo evolved their P2 which had a seatmast into 2 new and exciting bikes the P2K and the P3 with curved seat tube. Both in aluminum and the first bikes that I recall which had telescoping aero seat posts plus they had horizontal dropouts to tuck rear wheel into seat tube for better aerodynamics. Plus, the aero tubing that was superior to most anything else on the market. These 2 frames were revolutionary and totally changed the landscape of triathlon bikes.
The P3 with curved seat tube was one of the most emulated tribikes of all time!
I remember seeing the original P2 with seatmast at the 1996 Powerman Alabama, when Cervelo was NOT that common and my first impression was “that looks like a copy of the GT Superbike 1”.
