• Just invested in my first Cervélo and need some assistance please forum.

    I've been doing some fun TT stuff and plan to do a half IM next year, so have been looking for a budget(ish) setup. Bike24 had a 2018 P3 frameset for around £550, which seemed like a good deal. Unfortunately, after my impulse buy, I discovered that it doesn't come with a seat post and these are bloody expensive and hard to find. I have some questions...(probably should have done some research first):

    TIA. This is the frameset (stock photo):

  • Any suggestions where I can find a post? Everywhere seems out of stock, even the Cervelo site. I assume there are no budget alternatives to the Cervelo one?

    Last one I got was from eBay. I don't think there are any non-Cervelo seatposts which are compatible.

    BBright = BB30 but wider on one side, yes? So my BB30 chainset would work with something like this: https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/bb­right/bbrighttm-outboard-abec-3-bb-for-3­0mm-cranks-black.html

    Depends which cranks you have. As Glws says, if it's a 'proper' BB30 chainset it won't fit. If it's a 386EVO chainset with a longer spingle, like a Rotor 3D+, then it will.

    Any suggestions for budget bar setups? This is a world I am new to and it scares me.

    Zipp Vuka Alumina base bars and extensions are reasonably cheap and very adjustable.
