They were glued up and used once in one criterium in 2013. They have been in storage ever since. The owner is selling them because he no longer wants to run tubular tires. They have never been crashed. The wheels feature carbon rim and shell, ABLC dimpled rim shell surfaces, Zipp 88 front hub and Zipp 188 rear hub, 58 mm rim depth, 25 mm rim width, 16 (F) / 20 (R) spoke count, adjustable hubs, Zipp stainless steel skewers, Beyond Black lettering, light weight and Zipp 404 performance and versatility. The wheels as shown weigh 3 pounds (1.38 kg). There are 40 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Ships in custom wheel boxes.

A lovely exchange

I get a lot of requests when running auctions. This has to be one of the more amusing ones from a potential customer in the UK. 

Good day, 
Not being very familiar with your particular vernacular of the English language, would you please be so kind as to explain the meaning of the phrase "parted out". I have made an assumption based on my unfortunate subliminal ingestion of the copious amounts of "americanisms" that I've had to endure from several television programs favoured by my children,  however I feel it would perhaps be for the best if I could have a correct definition to consider before I contemplate entering into an international transaction. Thank you ever so much,  in anticipation.

p.s. Maths, and not math is surely the colloquial form of mathematics.   ;-)

Dear Sir,
I am in receipt of your electronic communication, and very pleased to have received it from a Man of Letters such as yourself. It is a highly relevant query. Please accept my sincerest apologies for diluting the English language in this manner. I suffer less from the influence of American television than I do from the dialect of the American road cyclist. "Parted out" refers to the practice of disassembling a bicycle completely, or removing one part and replacing it with another. For example, many road cyclists will remove an existing crank set and replace it with a power meter such as an SRM or Quarq. An American cyclist might say: "I parted out that Campy crank set for an SRM." I hope this explanation clarifies the meaning of the term for you and gives you the confidence to bid strongly for this crank set. If you win, and are still not satisfied you will be able to return the item under the Frame and Wheel Return policy. Thank you very much for your correspondence and good luck with the bidding.

Yours sincerely,

Fred Thomas

Sir,  

To "you"
Many, many thanks for your most considered reply.  There is absolutely no need to apologies for the propensity of your male bretheron to occasionally bastardise the mother tongue. You're most welcome to incorporate your favoured variations whenever you see fit as they serve to clearly distinguish between the "you" and the "us". Which helps 4 sure. 

Yours sincerely
US aka J

2009 Cervelo P2C 54cm carbon frame 3T Funda Pro fork English BB red white TT P3
Frame and Wheel is offering a 2009 Cervelo P2C frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set features 3T Fund Pro carbon fork, Cervelo dual position seat post, English thread bottom bracket, horizontal rear drop outs, internal cabling and Cervelo aero design. The frame set as shown weighs 4 pounds 10 ounce (2.1 kg). The frame serial number reads SNP2C09H50116. The front fork serial number reads CF143309H0806. There are 110 images of the frame set on Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Ships in custom frame set box.

Review of condition
The frame set is in good condition. It is clean and ready for build. There are no cracks, bulges, discolorations, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame. The rear triangle is in alignment with the centerline of the frame. The rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. The chain stay cable stop is undamaged and clear of obstructions. The bottom bracket cable stop is not damaged and clear of obstructions. There are no obstructions in the shifting and brake cable openings on the top of the top tube. The rear axle position bolts work properly. There is no corrosion in the water bottle bolt holes. The bottom bracket shell is not damaged. The threads in the bottom bracket are not stripped or corroded. The front derailleur hanger is mounted securely. There are no cracks, bulges, discoloration, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the front fork. The crown race is not damaged. The cartridge bearings turn smoothly and the head set is complete. There are no cracks, bulges, discoloration, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the seat post. The seat clamp works properly and it is complete. The chain stay protector is attached securely. 

Frame and Wheel notes the following. The back of the down tube shows wear from road grit. There is a 3 mm x 15 mm scratch at the bottom of the back of the down tube. There are two 5 mm x 6 mm chips in the finish near the drive side drop out. There is a 12 mm x 6 mm abrasion on the drive side top tube. There are three 6 mm x 6 mm chips in the finish that have been painted over on the drive side down tube. There is a 1 mm x 1 mm chip on the top of the drive side chain stay. There are abrasions on the seat post from adjustment and a saddle bag. There is wear on the bottom of the front fork crown. There is wear around the front top outs. 

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Cervelo P2 will make an excellent choice for aspiring triathlete who seeks to upgrade to full carbon frame set. The frame set is in good condition and has many hours of riding remaining in its carbon tubes. Built up with SRAM Force components, Vision aero bars and a Zipp 808 wheel set, this P2 will become a fast and highly practical triathlon bike that will inspire its new owner bring the bike leg to the next level.
