The times in this thread make me jealous...
Sadly back to the less fun stuff. Advice please... I wrote my 58cm P2 off like an idiot, but thankfully it is insured.
Option 1. Insurance pays for frame repair + new seatpost (worth more than value of the bike) + rebuild. However this may take many weeks and I don't know if they can even source a seatpost of that model (cracked + unusable). I won't get it back more than a month before the IM.
Option 2. I take the money and find something else (£1200). I run the risk of struggling to get as good a fit as nothing in a Cervelo P2 58 in that price range atm, and bike geo is pretty hard to compare on TT bikes. Also run the risk of buying a dud.
Ideally I'd like Option 2 so I can get back on the training without a 4+ week wait - so if anyone knows of anything going in a L/XL, or any popular bikes that size similarly - I'm very keen and looking to sort out within the next few days. I can bump the budget up slightly if it wont need loads of parts replacing.
Attached my bike fit Geo if of any use.
