Strengths:    Solid ride with low flex, price, fit my body well

Weaknesses:    Paint, Vision break levers are uncomfortable...you can use them to slice a tin can

Bottom Line:   
Loved this bike. Although, the aerobar extenders that came with it snapped on me during ride. Warranty covered it...ended up being a Vision issue, which were replaced. For some reason the paint seemed to chip off easy.

Strengths:    Super fast acceleration and comfortable ride. Great bike for the price!

Weaknesses:    Not a big fan of the Vision brake levers. Upgraded to Cane Creek Carbon levers and better leverage/better braking.

Bottom Line:   
Previously rode a P2SL and loved the upgrade to carbon with Dura Ace components. Great climbing bike.

As always, a bike purchase comes with a free fitting which is second to none!

Strengths:    Great all-around carbon bike in the $2K price category. Fit my body well. Nice all-around grouppo - ultegra is solid.
You could pay wayyyy more and not get much more.


Weaknesses:    Aerobar weld snapped - product defect.

Bottom Line:   
Bought this bike when I finally got serious about triathlons. 2008 Ultegra model. Everything was stock, except the Mavic Aksiums that I insisted replace the shoddy Shimano R500 wheels. I was riding a sweet steel Lemond Malliot Jaune w/ aerobars, and that seemed to be fine. Well, I'm glad I didn't wait any longer - this thing kicks butt. If it fits your body, get it. Light, smooth, fast. I put about 2000 miles on it this summer, and never had a mechanical issue - except one. The aerobar weld broke, and my LBS said it was a product defect they'd seen before. Beyond that little thing, the bike performed flawlessly. Shifts smoothly and easily. Carbon frame performs like it should - I miss like "live" feel of a steel bike, but on a tri bike, you shouldn't do much time out of the saddle. Light weight and bump absorption are key when you're tucked and cranking. My average speed over a 25 mile race went from 21 to 24mph. This will serve me well for years. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Strengths:    Quick Power when stepping on the pedals and strong hill climber! Sliced the wind on the down hill run. Smooth ride on a 3 mile length that is was a pain before.

Weaknesses:    None--quick handler, which I am already getting used to.

Bottom Line:   
I was riding a hybrid bike before purchasing the P2C-All I can say is WOW! Rode the past 2 days 26 miles and 30 miles and moved from the middle of the pack to finishing 1st and in the top 5 with tons of energy left during our club rides! Hills were a breeze and allowed me to easily pass others. Cruised 43 mph on a down hill run and still had more.
