Any of you Triathletes have experience with the new redesigned P3? If so pros/cons please. Cat 2 Road cyclist shifting my program to more time-trialing, duathlons and occasional tri-relay but not looking for a super bike as my other two race bikes are over 10K each. If I was to get the P3 I would race with Zipp 404FC Tubulars with the option of a HED Disk when suitable. I also need it to be UCI legal!
Feedback please!
pros: very aerodynamic frame, absolutely 0 weird mechanical issues to deal with. normal brake mounts etc
cons: comes with not great aerobars, but they are uci legal aerobars! and easy to swap
If you put a top notch aerobar on the new P3 it is very very nearly as fast as the P5. In fact if you can find one, the P5-6 aerobar works on the P3, and is uci legal. That would be the fastest option probably.
are you referring to the stock build ultegra or dura ace version aero bars?

All 2014 versions of the P3 come with the 3T Aura Pro. And the P5 bar is the 3T Aduro.
Here is one I painted recently and it has the P5 bars and Hydraulic brakes

Nice paint job…I’ll have to keep you in mind!
