• Looking for a replacement TT frameset for next year, requirements are as below:

    -medium-ish frame size ~52cm TT
    -short head tube (ideally 100mm, maybe less)
    -round steerer
    -probably no more than £1200 (new or second hand, not bothered)

    I currently ride an Argon 18 thing, it's a bit big and i run an adjustable stem pointing straight down to compensate as I ride with the bars pretty low. I'd like to get rid of this stem but it probably won't be possible...

    Is a Cervelo P3 the best option? Or spend less on a frameset and spend money on other aero kit? (I already have a Zipp 900/808 combo, rotor aero cranks etc. and club skinsuits are hopefully going castelli next year, so that'll be as fast as possible) Cheers.

  • Is a Cervelo P3 the best option?

    Probably. Ideally the proper one, not the 2013+ MAMIL version. With a £1200 budget you should have enough for a classic P3 and a 3T Ventus II

  • Cheers, this is the one were the seat tube matches the curvature of the rear wheel isn't it? Looks a lot nicer IMO.

    Is the Ventus integrated stem only? I'm not sure if I'd be able to get the bars low enough as the P3 only looses me ~15mm of headtube, do you have any opinion on USE Tulas for this reason?

    I'll post a picture of my current setup for reference when I get the chance...

    EDIT
    Current setup:

    @danb Exocet 2 (I know to avoid the mk1) is a good shout, is there any data at all on it though? Aerocoach is on the to do list once I have a new frameset I reckon
