Hi all,
Has anyone any background info on the arrival of the P3C? I am meant to be taking delivery of mine (size 51) on May 3rd, here in the UK. But, having read the recent posts on this forum, I’m beginning to worry this is not going to happen.
Cheers
Same news as was announced in September of '04.
An update from a month ago indicated the possibility of some 56cm frames initally available around April 24-30, obviously all pre-sold.
According to the Cervelo folks at IMAZ, “the 56cm are shipping”. The other sizes are will be several weeks (months).
I didn’t take it for a spin, but did take many pictures of the fine craftmanship. Too bad the P3 in my size doesn’t get me into my ideal position…
I contacted Cervelo about the 58 and was informed that they hope to start shipping that size at the begining of May, but depends on when the dealer you ordered through placed their orders as to how quick you’ll get it
.
Thanks very much guys. Its disappointing not to have a firm date - I was originally promised this bike would arrive in Feb, in time for my new season. The predicted date has slipped back 3 times, and if its not here on May 3rd as promised, I’ll have to think again.
Remember, Cervelo never made that promise to anyone. Their project is on the schedule they originally forcasted, which was intentionally vague to allow for some flexibility. The P3C is a bike that is about getting it right, not getting it first to the store. There are pleanty of carbon tri bikes out there, none particularly good.
Cervelo never promised anyone bikes in February. I think selling the bikes to begin with in advance was an irresponsible move on retailers part. We won’t take orders on them until I have product due to the opportunity for changes in arrival dates. It is simply too difficult to predict.
“There are pleanty of carbon tri bikes out there, none particularly good.”
Are you implying that the QR Lucero, Kuota, and Kestrel Talon & Talon SL aren’t very good among others which I may have not mentioned?
Yeah, what QuintanaRooster asked…
I gotta call bullshit here…
The QR Lucero is a great Tri bike with all the things demanding buyers who know cycling would ask of a TT bike…
Angle, short headtube, aero tubes, aero seat post, internal cable routing, horizontal dropouts with screws allowing you to adjust the wheel position without removing it etc…
