Cervelo P2SL

I finally upgraded my ride to a Cervelo P2SL. It's not the top of the P2SL line but it's all mine. Ultegra components all around with the Profile Design saddle and T2+ aerobar.

I went for the first of many rides today. It took a while to get used to the handling. Since you are positioned so far forward, it's a little squirrelly compared to a road bike. By spending time in the aero position, your center is more narrow than on a road bike riding on the drops.

It has a compact crank which means the big ring is only 50 teeth. It allows you to spin at a higher rate than a 53 tooth ring. I was able to spin up most hills and stay tucked.

All in all, I'm really happy. It's a great ride at a great price. Hans at BikeSource did a great job getting me fit to the bike. I didn't have any problems staying aero for most of the ride.
