Hey all,
Don’t post too often, but our shop just put together this assembly video of the P5x. Was pretty fun to shoot, and even more fun to assemble. Hope you like it, and we may try to do this more often if people like it. Please tell us what you think!

Thanks for uploading, fun to watch (bb installation, just for dramaturgy, shouldn’t it be shown at the end 
.
Nice work!
I like it! Opinions on bike? Should we wait for hydraulic brakes?
“Simply Faster” HA! Cervelo lost that claim when routing the blips.
Where’d the blip box go?
Neat video! Thanks for posting.
Great job.
Yeah the blips are a bit of tough fit through the basebar, but that little cable and heat-shrink trick works pretty well.
The blip box slips into the plastic cover that sits above the stem cap. You can see the cavity for the blip box (and I assume the Di2 junction A box) at about 6:57 into the video. Kind of tight fit with all the blip cables but it fits well overall.
Thanks.
Cool video. These would be helpful for a lot of the super bikes out there (e.g. assembling a P5 or a Speed Concept).
The one thing that’s really a deal breaker for me on the P5x is the stack adjustment for the cockpit. Not a fan. If that post slips you’re screwed.

Don’t see why this should be a dealbreaker. Perhaps those of us that rode for years with quill stems are used to something that easily slides up and down if it’s loosened but was never a problem after being tightened with a simple allen key. If Cervelo was remotely competent in their engineering it should be no problem whatsoever.
Now while I personally have no intention of buying a $11K+ bike, the easy stack adjustment is actually a big positive for those of us that know that getting a really aero but sustainable position isn’t something one accomplishes in a one hour fitting session.

Same as the NP3 seat post clamp isnt it.
Nice video
I know that bike caused a lot of ‘disscussion’ but I really like it - even though I think the calipers would be much cooler if they were integrated / shrouded in some way rather than just bolted on MTB style …
Also made me realise just how anal I am when I build a bike up lol

Yes but it’s one thing to have your seatpost slip and have your weight shift back suddenly but it’s an entirely different ballgame to have your front end suddenly lower and your weight shift forward.
Doesn’t make the P5x any less atrocious but cool video nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.
The handlebar stack adjustment does function essentially the same as their seat post wedge. I was very impressed with how well the ‘handlebar stack tower’ fit within the fork- it is a very tight tolerance that literally fits perfectly with almost no excess movement or play yet still slides up and down smoothly. It was one of the features that we were most impressed with.

Sweet video and build Antonio! Saw some nice routing tricks.
The Mrs is loving her S3 build you guys did last summer! Working sweet!
I understand that the good accurate tolerance fit, was one of the reasons both the bar and fork were manufactured by the same company (Enve).
Less load through that bar pedestal than through a seat post, and I’d guess a few other companies had 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ moments when they saw how simple, and obvious, that fitting is.
