They both fit. Both about the same price. Which to choose?

P2C. Have one and love it!

The B2 is so much more bike than a p2 DA.

B2 has a more aero profile and the feel of the ride is awesome. I have owned P2C which was nice but I so prer the felt. Ihave produced better results with power and times

They are pretty evenly matched bikes. Aerodynamics, weight and components are all pretty much a wash I suppose. To me it’s a decision of details:

  1. Do you have a good mechanic to install the Bayonet front end and check it every once in a while? If you do, then that is definately an advantage in favor of the felt.
  2. Which side of the size run are you on? For me, going with the Cervelo would have meant more a spacer or two, where as the Felt was spot on(they’re almost 2cm different in stack in the 51 vs. th 52)
  3. Aerobars: It looks like the Felt comes with an s bend aerobar, whereas the Cervelo comes with skibends.
  4. Which one do you like more? Do you like the yellow of the B2 or the red/silver of the P2?

Good luck with the choice from a B2 owner. You can’t go wrong with either.

They’re both fine bikes. I have a P2C that’s fast and comfy.

I prefer the ultra clean lines of the cervelo. Not flashy, all business.

Whichever one you would be prouder of owning is the one I would get.

Even an average/hack mechanic that can follow the assembly video can install the Bayonet, once installed it doesn’t need any more frequent checking or maintainence that a conventional headset. I’d be more concerned with someone truing their wheels or installing a new chain, two tasks that will likely be needed over the course of owning both bikes.

I agree, you can’t go wrong with either.
