For Sale: Cervelo P2k Full Dura Ace/Profile/Bonty 650c

Hello, I have a brand new Cervélo P2k 51cm in metallic blue (2002 colour) for sale.

Although the frameset is from 2002 it has never been ridden and is effectively brand new. I bought it from a bankrupt Cervélo dealer in Austria for a Tri friend but she has since lost her job and can't afford to buy it. It includes the original aero seatpost, carbon fork and Cane Creek IS headset.

The groupset is full 2008 Shimano Dura Ace. I can't remember the chainwheel and sprocket sizes but will update this when I get home.

I have a Selle Italia XO Genuine Gel seat and Profile Design Carbon X aero bars.

The only used part of the bike is the wheelset, although they are in perfect condition. Bontrager RaceLite 650c wheels with Continental racing tyres.

I'm really disappointed to have to sell the bike but as I have paid for everything, expecting my friend to pay me back, I have to recoup my money. I will sell for what it has cost me: £1600. Sorry, but I can't afford to take offers below this.

At the moment it is in parts but I have already paid Cycle Surgery to build it so will get it made up and make sure you get a free first service.

Please ask any questions. Everything is brand new except for wheels and tyres.

Thanks, Steve.

Please call 0771 222 8158 if you'd like any more information or would like to look at it. I may be prepared to take a £100 loss so first one to offer £1500 can take it. I would keep it myself but I have a P3 in my size.
Cheers, Steve.

seems like this is your first post

Sod that, it seems like a really good deal, if I was a foot more vertically challenged I'd be tempted ;)

Hello Brian. Yes, this is my first post.

Thought I would advertise here (and on London Cycle Sport) rather than run the gauntlet of ebay. Though I may have no choice if there is no interest.

I'm gutted really. I'm tempted to sell my P3 instead and keep the P2 – it looks beautiful! Anyone interested in a P3 for £3k?

stevethe rat, this is a fixed gear and singlespeed forum, try cycle+

Thanks for pointing this out trum.

I was counting on people having more cycling interests other than fixed/singles like myself, or would be able to help out a friend who may be looking for this type of quality bike.

You always have the option of using only one gear if you're interested. I recommend the 16th or 17th sprocket for a comparison.

Steve.

Oh dear, I feel this post is heading south fast.

bump...

can i convert it to a fixie?

what is the spacing on the rear dropouts and will i be able to get a good chainline?

fair play for posting it Steve - if it was my size and i currently had the money i would be sorely tempted.

There's more than enough out-of-the-closet roadies on this forum. I mean, even Dale's got a geared carbon job now...

that signifies a micro-trend if ever i saw one.

i mean, dale on the gears - WTF? i bet he's brakeless.

Yeah and full on clips & straps

shut up people the dude is offering a one off good deal, if you want it grab it!

An update: the bike has finally been booked in to be built next Weds. If any potential buyer wants to specify anything, now's the time to make requests.

Chainwheels are (to the best of my ability) 53/42, rear sprockets 27-12, crank length 172.5. As I said, everything except the wheels are brand spanking new. That means, in retail terms, £1000 of groupset, £250 bars, £20 seat, £300 wheels and tyres (though these are used but great condition) meaning you get a brand new Cervelo P2k frame and carbon forks FOR FREE! You just need to be short enough to fit it.

I'd prefer £1600 as this, give or take a few pennies, is exactly what I paid for it but, to get some money back as quickly as possible I would be willing to make a loss – especially if I could sell it before the end of next week.

As I said at the top, an Australian friend of mine lost her job just after I committed to buy all of this stuff for her and I've just bought myself a P3. I am absolutely skint! I'm open to meaningful offers and you are very welcome to see it before you commit. I'll take some pics when it's built so you can see what an absolute beauty it is.

Cheers, Steve

Don't know how good this is going to come out but this from my phone cam...

they are well de la mental.

is that a sit forward seat post on the orange one?

Yes, it's a reversible post – standard issue on all Cervelos – for road legal or TT legal seating positions, according to UCI regulations on geometry. The blue bike has one too but it's in the road position.

i didn't know that

yup that 5cm rule or whatever it is right?

Partly right, eyebrows. Bikes used for road – tours, crits, etc must have a seat angle no greater than 73 degrees from the ground. However, track, TT and tri bikes are allowed geometries greater than this (normally 74-79 deg) but the nose of the seat MUST be 5cm behind the centre of the BB axle.

I used to race short distance TTs then entered a road race on the same bike. As it was a UCI controlled event, my (and everyone elses) bike was scrutinised before the race and I was automatically DNS'd because of my seat post angle. Gutted.

On the track that caused the controversy surrounding Graeme Obree, didn't it?

Yes, eyebrows, Obree's riding style, which was later banned, caused the rule change. His seat was almost directly over his BB on his famous 'Hotpoint' bike.
