He has finally arrived! I met "The P2" yesterday in St. Louis and it was love at first sight. I immediately invited him to come home and live with me.

beautiful!! i love it!!
details Silver-- we want ALL the details!!
Woot woo.. congratulations!!!!! He sure is beautiful...:D It's the sweetest ride- you'll love every minute with him (I would've said "on" him, but that's just a little vulgar- even tho I said it anyway).
Be careful on the first couple rides, as it rides so quick and nimble you'll feel like you're riding... well, I don't know, but man that ride is sweeeet.
Beefy!
ummm, how is Mr.Silver taking your affair with this new love in your life? ;)
Congrats, Silver! That's one sexy bike. I hope you have lots of happy (and fast) miles on it!
That is one sexy bike!! Hope you enjoy every mile on him! (yep, I had to say it too)

Better take it back, looks like the LBS forgot to attach the kickstand. ;)
That is one beautiful bike, enjoy it!!! :D (It's really too bad there isn't a drooling smiley as this would warrant one.)
Gorgeous with a Capital G!
WOW! I know you spent many hours/days/weeks looking for the perfect bike. Congrats! I am jealous!!! :)
I was thinking exactly the same thingQuote:

To start, by censoring the first post...the double entendre was just over the top;)Quote:

Don't let Silver fool you- it's not a real bike, it's just a toy model!- look at the size of the wall clock behind it in the photo...that toy bike must be actually only 9" tall! :cool: ;)
She's just trying to pull a fast one on us all to make us jealous of her 'new bike'.
I'm really blind, but I can read that clock without my glasses
OOOh, he is beautiful! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so impressed with my new cervelo. Amazing engineering. I know you will enjoy him!
Many happy miles! Enjoy.
Congratulations, Silver! What's his name?
That's not a bike--that's a work of art. :cool:
I quoted you to see it again. Beautiful bike! I can't wait to get a ride report - I would like a TT bike sometime. The blue and silver looks great! Wheels look hot on it as well... (can I say that if it's a he?)Quote:

Congrats on your new bike! I love the color scheme. Just looking at it it just "feels" light as a feather. I hope you fly fast on your rides. Enjoy.

What's that hump on the water bottle? :confused:
Sweet!!!!!!!

It's a slim line bottle. It's not as wide as a regular bottle and shaped funny so you can grab onto it while riding. It's super slim to be more aerodynamic.Quote:

Although the thought of it being pregnant with little baby bottles made me laugh. Funny!
Beautiful bike Silver. Wishing you much luck with him!!!

Hi all! I've been short on time, but thanks for the thoughts on my new bike.
A few answers:
It's a He, all my bikes are. My bikes are all named by model and "The," "The 1000," "The Madone," and this one will be "The P2"
It's a 56cm 2009 Cervelo P2 Ultegra SL.
So far all is stock:
Fork - 3T Funda Pro
Seatpost - Cervélo aero carbon
Shift Levers - Shimano DuraAce Bar-ends
Front Derailleur - Shimano Ultegra SL
Rear Derailleur - Shimano Ultegra SL
Cassette - Shimano Ultegra 12-25
Chain - Shimano Ultegra
Brake Calipers - Cervélo Mach 2
Brake Levers - Vision Aero Levers
Crankset - Gossamer MegaExo Compact
Bottom Bracket - FSA Gossamer MegaExo
Headset - Cane Creek
Stem - Visiontech Sizemore
Basebars - Visiontech
Aerobars - Visiontech
Saddle - Selle San Marco Island Tri
I have a Dura Ace 27-11 casstte on order. My American Classic 420 wheels on it. Ultegra SL pedals. Cateye Strada wireless. Profile Design Aero bottle on the downtube and profile design aero 2 bottle holder on the saddle.
I dont' think this saddle will make the cut though. I'll give it a couple miles before making the decision.
Friday Afternoon I drove the 3 hours to St. Louis to pick it up. I was there 3 hours getting fitted on it. Then I drove the 4 hours to Bloomington. Spent Sat there, went to Indy for a dinner and then back to Boomington for the night and now back in Newburgh (2 hours). Been a whirlwind.
And I haven't ridden it yet. One part in the headset had to be glued and set for 24 hours prior to being tightened down. I can't wait!!!!
more info soon.
Sweet ride! The next time I see a silver streak, I'll know it's you.:p:D:cool:
First ride! Only rode around the block a few times. it was very windy and very difficult to control, but I felt great on it! Can't wait for a real ride. Hoping that will happen at lunch tomorrow.

Dang, lady! You look smokin' on that bike. Weeeeeee!:cool:
Silver, that bike was made for you. :)
What's the name of your bike?
So it IS a compact!Quote:

I'd love that range for my ID8, which also has a compact, and I'm running a 12-25 currently.
I think from the picture you and that bike were made for each other :p
Silver...thanks for posting a pic. You and the bike look GREAT!!!!
~ JoAnn
You look very determined in that pic! Race-face or were you just trying to hang on? If that is your race face...look out world..be verrrrry afraid!!!:D
"Silver on Cervelo"
Beauuuutiful bike!

Yes a compact. I'm a little disappointed. Clearly, I was too focused on the final product to absorb all the details. I'm fairly certain that I'm going to switch out the compact for a standard. I was riding in 50/12 today and felt like I could crank more.
Silver, the new bike is awesome! Hope you have many happy and safe miles together:).
50-11 is lower the 53-12. An 50x34 with a 11x23 is about the same is a 53x39 with a 12x25. You can check it out on Sheldon Brown's web site.Quote:
