Some dreams can come true. 
More than a few, I use a special flat clear coat. has more of a satin finish than a shine. Did a Cervelo in flat black recently, went with the Diamond plate disk that was posted.
I disagree! I think your seat height looks absolutely fine and being fit on both of my bikes by the scientist himself, John Howard, I can absolutely believe that he had your seat a tad higher to start!
I too had to bring my back down a bit as well! I think it looks good!! ![]()
If you get a job in Iraq you better save up for a bullet proof vest.
Who turned you into an ahole : )

JH is all about “long -strong muscles” and I can attest Paul is pretty fast on the set up you see!
Hey, PaintIt, why does this P3 have rear dropouts facing forward? A little too much Photoshop magic?

My trusty little protractor gets your knee angle at 156 degrees. Slowman recommends 150-155 on a tri bike and I’d suggest a bit lower for people with tight hamstrings. Also looking at your heel you seem to be “ankling” somewhat, which is again suggesting a high seat. I’d put your heel in a more neutral position to try and get 150 degrees. So I’ll stick to my original suggestion that your seat height could be a bit high. Everything else looks OK to my measurements. I’d never use static measurements off a photo as the be all/end all, but it can be a tool to give some feedback.
Thanks

Must be a prototype! What is this Photoshop you speak of? ![]()
saddle forward too if in tt position

I am not sure what John Howard is thinkin’, but your seat is, without any doubt, far too high for your leg length.
If Paul is leaning into the wall to balance while the photo is being taken it could make his seat height look excessively high from the right side.
Personally, I’ve never found static pictures to be that representative of one’s actual riding position. A picture taken halfway through a race or interval session would be much more representative of the position he actually rides in. For example, when you’re spinning easy or warming up or down you are usually on the back of the seat. When you’re going hard you’re almost always up on the nose. When you’re climbing you’re pushed far back again.
You do custom paint jobs?
By the way, what program did you use to paint the Virtual Velo? I pixel paint from time to time, but my programs be oh so crappy.

Yes I do custom paint. The Cervelo pic is a vector graphic, exported as a .jpg for your viewing pleasure. I use Illustrator, Corel, PhotoShop, Quark, or whatever fits the bill.
