After looking around for quite some time, I decided to upgrade my tri ride to what I believe is the best buy in the business. I looked around quite a bit and settled on a Cervelo P2C, this is a full carbon with complete Dura Ace components.
I was able to sell my old bike, a 3 year old Trek Equinox 7, to an individual in on Craigslist so as I get more involved each year in this crazy sport I thought it was time to upgrade to a true tri beast.
The main differences between the two is first and foremost the frame: carbon vs. aluminum and the fact that the Cervelo is an extremely aero frame, second would be the upgrade from 105's to Dura Ace, and last the difference that I personaly like is the space from the aero bars to the brakes. The last point is probably one of the most notable, for someone not extremely comfortable on the aero bars I love the fact that the distance between the shifters and brakes is to a minimum.
One other notable side bit is that the Cervelo was bought at my local tri shop so it comes with a complete bike fit which should be helpful but only time will tell.
I will be taking possesion of the bad boy Wednesday followed by a run on the Computrainer so let the fun begin.
