Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Cervelo P2C will make an excellent choice for the smaller male or female triathlete (or junior cyclist) who seeks to upgrade to a practical and race ready time trial bike. Although the bicycle shows wear from entries into and exits from the darkness of the transition zone, it is nevertheless in good condition with many hours of riding and racing remaining in its carbon tubes and wheels. The new owner of this Cervelo P2C will appreciate the smoothness of the Ultegra drive train, the speed of the Zipp 404s and the aero voice of the bicycle, and will no doubt have new revelations on it in the race against the clock. A very fine opportunity to obtain a very nice time trial bike.
