Best frame for TT bike?

[John Crankshaw]

Give some leads to finding a good TT frame. How does the Cervelo P2K stack
up?

TT's are very popular in the Uk and the weapon of choice at the moment seems
to be the Giant TCR Aero, I know I've got one. Lovely frame & not stupidly
expensive. If only my legs were better.

It is hard to beat the P2K for the optimal combination of proper geometry,
aerodynamics, and price. The latter is esp. true given that they've become
quite popular the last few years...you can probably pick up a used one for
under $1000.

The P2K is an excellent bike as is the P3. If funds are limited, the
Cervelo Dual is also very good. A slightly cheaper frame with better
wheels will be more aero than a better frame with non-aero wheels. All
of these three have great aerodynamics and so will potentially go fast.
However, make sure you get a proper fit and that the bike is
comfortable for you. If you purchased a Kestrel or a Softride that is
slightly less aerodynamic but which perhaps you find more comfortable
(and hence can keep going in the aero bars for longer), then this will
ultimately be faster.

You sound like a triathlete - no racing cyclist I know who bothers to invest
in a bike just for TTing worries about whether the frame is "comfortable"
enough that they can stay in the aerobars. If you can't in the aero position
for 40k, you probably shouldn't be wasting your money on a separate TT bike.

You'd better clean out your ears then Andy.
