so an 808 rear will fit on the rear, but not the zipp bulged discs.
how about a 1080, will that fit in the rear between the stays?
We can’t tell if the P4 is faster. Yet. Race results will bare that out. With no independent wind tunnel test capability we can’t say if it is faster, or how much faster it may be if it is.
Size 56, huh? Loan it to me for a short bit and I’ll be able to tell you if it’s “faster” or not…with numbers to back it up too
whoa! Who cloned/morphed Aderhold and Jim Bruce together?

This is so misleading. If lots of ppl win on it, it means its a fast bike? Ahh, it just means lots of fast people believed the hype, bought it, and won on it. Same as a P3. Its a great marketing ploy to say 'lots of ironmans won on P3, therefore its the fastest bike ever."

I agree…that’s why Tom D. needs to send it to me for some objective analysis 
How do you like that TAD Gear ShagMaster hoodie you’re wearing in one of the pics? Always so stylish!!! 
Bascially, TAD Gear rules. I have horns on the hood of my shagmaster.
Tom, when I win the lottery I will send you 5 different bikes for testing, and we can throw in a trip to the LSWT for good measure. We put the results on Slowtwitch and you get to keep the fastest one 
I will order another for myself.

If we can bring Tom A. I’ll take you up on that.
In the mean time though, I’ll go ahead and stick with a P4…
Sweet pics and review Tom. It is an impressive machine.
I have an idea for your next project, it may not be as sexy, but it would make me happy. Wave your magic hands and make the bike that I purchased from you exactly 1 month ago arrive at my door. I am sick and tired of running/swimming.
All the best!
I might be able to that! Well, maybe… I PM’d you.
I am holding out for a P5 or possibly the P6
.
That is what I was thinking too…
Kind of exciting.
I’m holding out for my P4…

We did not test fit a 1080 since I don’t have one in the store right now.
I am guessing here- and I might suggest it *may *work. Based on the assumption (as in, ASS of U and ME) that the 1080 is no wider than the Sub 9 Disk. The Sub 9 *nearly *worked- but would never *really *work in the real world.
1080? Not sure. We’ll have to try one… Good question though.

what’s most impressive about these pictures is the superb colour coordination between the bell volt helmet and assos apparel.
appropriately overly expensive apparel to match the overly expensive bike
so an 808 rear will fit on the rear, but not the zipp bulged discs.
how about a 1080, will that fit in the rear between the stays?
the sub9 and 1080 have the same max width on the bulge (the sub9 is based off of the 1080 profile). The clincher disc and 808 have the same max width on the bulge (clincher disc is based of the 808 profile). So any problems with the 1080 will also be manifested with a sub9 and vice versa. Clincher disc and 808 will also both have problems, or they both won’t.
i have heard, but am not absolutely sure of this, that the 1080 and sub nine are equal in width at their widest.
so, if that’s true, is sounds like the 1080 won’t work …
edit: yup, the 1080 is out.
