Strengths: Meant to go fast; does that for sure along with nice body positiotning.Weaknesses: Paint sux, turning is awkward, and the seat clamp will more than likely strip on you.Bottom Line: Very Stiff and fast. Not the most comfy rig I own but the defeniteley the fastest. Taking turns is extremeley awkward; maybe due to the angle of the head tube. Paint chips very easily; poor paint job and the seat clamp device sux. Overall the positioning is comfortable and long rides would not be impossible; on the other hand, the frame is very stiff and you will feel all the road deficiencies.

Strengths: Frameset is exceptional. You need to be fitted by a professional on this bike. I did, and it's the most comfortable ride I've been on, particularly in aero position. I do Intl to 1/2 IM races. It's been a flawless ride, and my bike splits have improved a great deal.Weaknesses: Factory kit isn't recommended. Change out the Cervelo brakes to Ultegra (or at least the pads). Factory brake set up is spongy-bad. Ritchey wheelset from factory is suspect. I upgraded to Velocity Deep V's for training and am racing this year on Spinergy wheels. Upgrade handlebar setup and saddle as well. Serfas Pro was my saddle choice and I'm very happy with it. This raised price on bike up about $400 but was worth it as I am planning on racing this bike until it becomes a total relic.Bottom Line: Finally time to review the 2002 P2k. Waited until I had 6 months and some races to do so. Overall, the P2K is an exceptional value. Very fast, very stiff, but not harsh (like my Trek 2300). Key here is flexible geometry which means you can get a perfect fit with this bike.

Strengths: Aerodynamics, stiff & reliable handling.Weaknesses: Paint job chips too easily.Bottom Line: This bike rides like a dream. It is very stiff and aerodynamic. I was worried coming from a Softride that the ride would be harsh. But after a very short adjustment time I was very happy I made the switch. It corners very predictably. The best bike for the price.

Strengths: Very aerodynamic, light, stiff frame. With the carbon fork, the ride is also extremely comfortable.Weaknesses: While some people have had trouble with their seatposts, mine has been perfect. The paint is the only weakness.Bottom Line: My first true triathlon geometry bike, the P2K is awesome. Very light and stiff, and super aero (especially with the Zipp 404's), I've loved every mile on the bike. The compact frame makes it easy to get and stay aero comfortably, and ride with power. Any rider who enjoys the aesthetic aspects of bikes will love the rear wheel cutout, the excellent welds, and the overall sweet look of the frame.
