Tom D mentions that he thinks its a great frame. Many others do too – inlcuding the poster who said his secret but not dirty desire was to start with that frame and put real nice stuff on it.
I am thinking about laying some cash down on a bike, and I think I will probably be upgrading in the future.
Is the Dual a good choice? for 1500 I can get a new Dual 10 Speed…and for a little more I can get a P2K.
Is the P2K frame better? Why do people love the Dual so much?
I’m selling my 2004 P2k…not more than 500 miles…only raced on about 4 times in Oly Distance…full 9sp Ultegra. 
The P2K has a rear cut out and a more aero fork so in theory should be a bit faster frame. A Dual with good aero wheels would probably be faster than a P2K with the stock wheels and if you shop wisely, would cost similiar.
I love my P2K but you can’t go wrong with either.
Every time I see a dual in person I am impressed by the sharp lines and super sleek tubing. I doubt youd be unhappy.
what about a dual vs a soloist set up for time trialing? ie with carbon x or something on it. i have the chance to get a soloist for not toooo much.
Just my experience- I love it because of it’s adjustability- it allowed me to gradually work into an aero position over the course of a year. I always rode MTB and road bikes, which is in a more upright position. I didn’t want to throw my forty year old body outta whack by going straight into a aero position. It turned out to be the perfect choice for me. Just last month I reached the point where I flipped the seatpost head around to get me more forward, and lowered the bars to the last 5mm spacer on the stem ( I started out with 4 5mm spacers). I’m about as aero as I’m going to get now.
Normally something built for “dual” purpose is really good at neither, but I have found this to be an exception with my Dual. It also rides very stable in the aero position- I’ve hit 45 mph on some downhills and it is still solid a a rock compared to my road bike with aero clip on which would only go about 25 before it started to shimmy while in the aero position- very scary. This bike has really given me much more confidence in my cycling.
Had my Dual for a year… first full season of time trialing and am very happy with the choice.
Off button for a three year old usually becomes accessible in about 15 years. 
I like the Dual a great deal. Remember that about 6 years ago a design like the Dual (the Eyre?) was Cervelo’s hot aero bike. The technology in the frame is good and similar if not identical to what is used on some components of the P3SL frame such as the Smartwall aero down tube and low profile, 1" diamter head tube. Those features make the Dual frame a very upgradeable choice.
Hanging a Dura-Ace kit on a Dual is not dressing a pig in a mink coat (so to speak). The frame is worthy of the upgrades. It is a solid bike.
Is the P2K similar? It seems to get less credit and is more expensive…
Also, whats wtih all the chipped paint! Will the '06 models be a little better about this?
I thought it was called a Dual because it 's got two aero tubes, but that’s another way to look at it
