The first one we have had through , it took a little while to be built, The owner took the frame away for a tour of all his riding friends Garages, local pool halls, Raw bars etc

It was too tempting , I got out the stepladder & rode a frame 2 X sizes too big for me , Even still Its faaast

If you are in Virginia Beach this weekend for the Shamrock Marathon we’ll have a booth with a P4 on display, come by & run your hands over one !

I’ll be there this weekend to check it out.

clearly the owner is someone with too much money and not enough sense. how else do you explain EVERY GIZMO AND GADGET for cycling known to man cluttering an otherwise beautiful frame.

Was/is probably a golfer too.

Disgusting.

…EVERY GIZMO AND GADGET for cycling known to man cluttering an otherwise beautiful frame.

huh? what gizmos and gadgets? i see a pretty standard build with a conservative race wheelset (older zipp 909) and even a basic hed aerobar setup. the srm crankset with rotorcranks is the only real $$$ upgrade i see, and that isn’t even considered exotic these days. power meters are fairly common in any transition area and i wouldn’t really call it ‘clutter’.

As two of the many who can only dream of riding this bike to anywhere it’s capability, we still cannot get excited about it. It just doesn’t look ‘blingy’ enough.

6

Odd wheel combo…

7

I agree, my p2c is WAAAAY more blingy than that. but it looks a hell of a lot better than that one with the nascar paintjob in tri mag.

8

Won’t be there for the marathon this weekend. Will I see this bike at the Virginia Duathlon next week?

9

im not digging it at all…

10

At least y’all had the smarts to grace that frame with some Record.

11

What size is that P4?

12

how big is that LBS? it must have 10 Cervelos in there. My LBS has a total of 20 bikes on display.

13

The wheel combo is unusual , the Disc is the bike owners , I had to throw on a front on for the photo & thats what was hanging about in the store. It’s a 58.

We do carry a lot of Cervelo, 22 out on the floor right now ! It’s our favorite, We also stock Look & Orbea

14

I saw my first P4 recently. It’s not nearly as fugly in real life as it is in pictures. Too much $$$ for me this year any ways.

15

that thing needs a UCI illegal fork on it =)
.

16

I predict an increase in poor bike handling skills/crashes from riders on that bike. Assuming they want to use that aero bottle to hold a drink, it seems like a LONG reach down to get it. And how many will be scattered on courses when riders go to replace them and “miss” the holder? Just my prediction

17

Haha. People will give up hunting for hubcaps and instead spend their idle time picking up P4 aerobottles for resale.

I predict that the ROI will beat the hell out of my 401K…

mm

DANI!!!

Nice build up, I’m curious who that bike now belongs to though! I’ll be there this weekend, hopefully I’ll run into you. See ya then and if you can hold a Small Final Kick running shirt for me!!

Shanks

ps Final Kick rocks!

19

dont worry Shanks he’s not in your age group.

I have a T put aside for you Chesty !

Agree. I’d skip the SRM on the P4 and go with a PT disc in back. The frame would look great with the new Zipp crank or a SRAM red with the TT rings. The P4 is a simplistic frame that deserves simplistic treatment…:slight_smile:

BTW, there is nothing “simplistic” about the innovation and engineering (I don’t want to get mauled by the Cevelo-heads here).
