Price Paid:  $2250.00 at Cycle Logik

Favorite Ride:
Gatineau Park, Gatineau, Canada

Bike Setup:
Hed 3 wheels for racing w/ Michelin Axial Pro Race, Shimano Dura-Ace Wh7700 wheels for training with Vittoria, Shimano Dura-Ace 9-speed f/r deraillers, barkes, and bar-end shifters, Hed Carbon tri bars, Selle Italia SLR saddle, Polar S720 w/cadence and power options for computer.

Summary:
I purchased this frame knowing that it wasn't the lightest, most comfortable but expecting it to fly on the flats. It has surpassed my expectations. The ride is comfortable enough to ride for 5+ hours (Iron distance events) and slips through the wind like a hot knife in butter. The rear end and the BB is much stiffer than on similar products yet the rider is not thrown about at the slightest sign of bumps. This bike used to be a relatively unknown cult favorite but is fast becoming one of the most popular bikes in the triathlon and TT crowds. It would be as close to perfect if the paint didn't peel just by looking at it.

Strengths:
Aerodynamics, comfort, design.

Weaknesses:
Paint is by far the worst I have seen. The bike is not light. A carbon version of the P3 would fix both issues...
