This is my new ride; I just got fitted this week and I put on my new clip-ons last night. This is my first posting, so be gentle because I’ve seen how you guys sometimes tear people apart.
Sorry about that; I think the links work now.
Can’t get the links to work.
Drop bars? And what about the color on that wall, oh my goodness - and that carpet - simply awful (all in jest of course)!
Nice bike - like the color, kind of soothing for when you are ‘turning the pedals in anger’!
Ah, now it’s beautiful.
I’d really wanted to see one of these built up. It looks like a good frame with some uber sexy paint an seatstays.
How’s it ride?
The only thing I’d changes at the moment would be the computer mount. There has got to be a better place for it.
Other than that, very, very, well built. One of the best bikes this year.
You’re right about the computer mount; I will work on that. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but it rides great - my last bike was a Softride Classic so I’m looking forward to riding a little faster for sure in the sprint races. Next winter I am going to get a pair of Zipps when finances are better.
I’m not into shades of purple on anything (yes i’m slightly colorblind) but that is a clean a$$ bike. Good job on the spec. Looks like the 3ring seatpost heads are catching on. Noticed them from pics of the P3C now aerus is making them too, or did aerus make the one for the P3C? Added adjustability I suppose. Anyway that bike looks fast. Maybe you can report back on how it rides after you’ve logged some miles on it.
Just out of curiosity, there are several bikes which receive constant coverage here, that is not one of them. What led you to that frame choice? Fit, price, looks, etc…?

Ok, I love that color.
Absolutely beautiful bike. Beautiful.
Not a knock on you in any way, but what is Blue thinking by printing their website URL on the seatstay? That drives me nuts.

I was looking at the P2 and was made an offer I couldn’t refuse by the distributer. The adjustibility of the seatpost was a strong selling point as I can’t afford a 2nd bike for a while.

Advertising! Must be working - whether you agree/like it or not, you took notice didn’t you?
Thanks, can you ballpark the difference in prices? That seat does look intersting but does it stay in place under load?

I was told the frame/fork/seatpost officially lists for $1500 US @ RideBlue.com and I have Ultegra 10spd on it for components. I was able to negotiate a deal thru a contact as they are trying to broaden sales in the tri market. I’m not sure exactly how much the P2 is w/ Ultegra 10spd. I have only 500K on it so far but I haven’t had any problems w/ the seat so far. Hope this helps.

Was part of your contract agreement to post a picture on Slowtwitch? 
Nice ride! congrats!

I gotta say that is one of the sweetest paint jobs I’ve seen on a production bike. Not a bike that you’re going to see everyday on the road so it gets you bonus points. Let us know how it rides.
nope; I just wanted to post some fresh bike porn…
SUWEEET ride! All the best with her? Does she have a name?
RF
not yet; I figured I’d wait until 1000K to see what sort of personality she has and then pick out a name…
Does it have horizontal dropouts? How close can you get the tire to the seattube?
