I think an analysis of pedal choices and or crank length would be interesting. But I'm a nerd...like you....

Really cool breakdown! If you want specifics for my bike im happy to answer questions in the comments 🔽

At that price it's not a Pinarello anymore. It's a Penal-Rello, made to punish poor people!

Nick, thoughts on tricking out a P4 Eco with Tririg goodies vs a New Shiv TT?

[@tririg]

Well I'm biased of course, but I'll try to give you as fair an answer as I can. In my opinion, the most important aspect of any bike is the ability to easily and consistently adjust the aerobar, both to hit your current position AND to allow you to adjust it over time. Unfortunately the Shiv TT is ... lacking in this respect, to put it mildly. Bikes like the Shiv TT often look very slick, but are designed without a lot of creature comforts in mind. They're built to be cared for by Pro Tour mechanics, not the average consumer. In my opinion, you're always better off if you can add an Alpha One, which lets you adjust your position with a single wrench in under 30 seconds. Of course, the P4 Evo has its own drawbacks. The most notable of these is that it was designed in an era when tires maxed out at about 23mm wide. So it isn't built to accommodate today's 30mm+ tires. If you can live with that, it's still a very fast frame, and adding an Alpha One, Scoops Ultimate SL, Omega One, and other TriRig parts will make it an absolute beast. Ben Deal rides an old Cervelo P2 which he has tricked out with all our latest gear, and it's FAST. Hope that helps! -Nick

⁠Nick, you’re the man! Thanks for your time. I’ve purchased more than a dozen of your brakes over the last 15 or so years They’ve been in all my race bikes road and TT over the years I need a UCI legal bike. Is there something I should consider? I know I’m giving up time with my skinny tires and they are rubies on top If it all. Need something new
