Disclaimers:

  1. Lots of Spacers? Yes, until I dial in my fit and cut down the fork.
  2. Clinchers? Yes, personal preference.
  3. Seat Too High? Maybe, this is my recommended saddle height. I may lower it based on feel later on.

Details:
2008 Cervelo P2C 56cm
SRAM Red Build Kit
Easton EC90 Aero Fork
FSA OS-99 Stem
Zipp Vuka Cockpit - Base Bar, Aerobars and Brake Levers

Jack,
Congrats on a very fine ride and I really like this color combo.

Your blinds are closed…ashamed of the paint job or do you live in a bad area :slight_smile:

It looks sweet, my only gripe is the red paint, it should be black
I have the same fork…nice.

That swiffer must be symbolic of the clean up you will do on your new ride…congrats!

Very observant. The drapes are pulled because too much bright light from all the snow in the backyard was bleaching out my photos. The Swiffer is my wife’s #1 weapon of choice.

Does she use it on the carpeting?

RED! YES! Mmmm, yummy. Nice ride, hope you give it the love it deserves.

You missed the small cog by… 2? 3?

Excellent, one observation the shifter cables have a downward arch most bikes I see have a upward arch out of the bars into the downtube.
Guess it does not matter if It shifts right.

You need to put that bike out of its misery, I have a better idea, just give it to me, I’ll take care of it for you…

/Too bad it’s not my size. Like the paint jobs on those bikes.

10

Nice. Incredibly nice.

Good question. I hadn’t thought much about the cable routing, angles, etc. I’ll take a look at that.

More pressing is we need the sun to burn off the 12-18 inches of snow on the roads here so I can actually ride the damn thing!

12

The shifter cable routing would look better if it ran over the base bar rather than under it. It might need to be shortened up a bit also. This will certainly be the case when you remove the spacers. But…I am picky about cable routing. Nice bike though…

Oh…I like the table and chairs too. Contemporary, mostly clean lines, not too decorative…

Very nice build. Not that it matters, but what’s that baby weigh?

14

Really nice ride. Top of the line.

15

I’m going to weigh it in this weekend. The back end is lighter than the front end though - that SRAM Red stuff is so light it is sick.

16

Cool…let me know. My 58 '08 P2C with training wheels weighs in at 17.7lbs so I bet your 56 w/Red will be 16lbs or less.

Swiffer is for the kitchen (next door).

Dude, this is a very nice build. I like the fact that you put a complete group on the frame instead of settling for the mix and match selection Cervelo offers on the P2C.

Splendid.
Keep us posted about how you like the Red grouppo.
