That looks absurdly fast.
I bet you check the weather report for wind direction though...
I have several wheel options to suit different wind conditions... if that's what you mean!
wow !
poker I'm sure she'll do you proud :-)
A very purposeful looking bike.
Love those 3t wheels

Oddly enough, they claim it is THE most aero front brake! Designed specifically to work with this frame. Probably partly due to it sitting completely within the width of the head tube and the edge of the caliper split the wind.
I'm positive that Cervelo wouldn't spend years developing a super-slippery TT bike just to anchor it down with a slow front brake.
(Not mine, but you can see head-on how the brake sits: http://velonews.competitor.com/files/20 ... 33x421.jpg)

Absolutely.
When you are riding it, do people say: "Too much machine, not enough man"?
Jordan, careful, check pokerfaces credentials first

I think it was in jest, in relation to Pokerface's previous TT bike thread.

Yes, indeed it was:

One of the funniest things I've ever read on this forum. Epic fail from Berk Bonebonce.
I'm still dialling in my position and making tweaks to a few things but it's almost there now. Rode a TT on it 2 weeks ago and managed 11th out of 85 riders. Going to try again this weekend but this time with faster wheels. Hoping to crack the top-10.

A few weeks. I had to wait a bit because Fabian had ordered several and his order came first.
How do the brakes feel compared to the standard DA ones, or are they similar in feel when in operation?
That's a nice looking bike .
Pictures don't do it justice at all. In person, it's much nicer. And that's saying a lot.
However, at the end of the day I got it to go fast so I don;t particularly care how fugly it looks. If it gets me to the finish line faster - that's all that matters.
Re: the brakes... they modulate better than standard calipers. Less likely to lock up, but can stop you sharpish enough when needed. Mostly they are lighter than standard callipers. And more aero.
Cheers go to know from someone with firsthand experience. Maybe an option on a new bike is all & was thought I'd ask.
Knowing your reputation I think the bike will be fast however it looks but the P5 seems like a pretty well sorted bike for speed in terms of design which is as you said the main function of it.
Cervelo really have came up with some incredible designs and is probably why they are a growing favourite nowadays.
That bike is lovely! Definitely not jealous!
Cervelo really dropped the ball a little when they were sold and started going with these ridiculous paint schemes.
