I've tried searching for a thread related to this, but with no luck. So here's my question: If you could pick a bike, which bike would it be (and why)? I'm looking to get a new TT bike and I want to get some feedback from people who may know a thing or two more about a bike than I do. I like to all black Ordu and the P3C. I've also looked at and considered the Look 496 Tri and the BMC TT02 (the TT01 is just too much green!!). The floor is yours.....

Dream bike would be a 2007 Felt DA with Zipp 808's (talk about bike porn:)). In my humble opinion, when you start getting into top of the line bikes, there will be no real difference between brands as the average rider will be the limiting factor. So you might as well pick the bike that feels the best or looks the best.

My dream bike: P3C.. The bike simply put -- proven. Equip it with Sub 9 disc and 808 front? Major boner...

To take it a step further..

And to take a step further, xlab carbon wing in the back? Gorilla carbon xlab cage in the front, Possibly HED Vantage 8 bars in the front.. Look Keo Ti Carbon pedals.. SRAM Red groupo... Wow wow wee wow! I'd need a bumper sticker that says "honk if you like what you see"

It must be early because I saw your statement "TT01 is just too much green!!" and thought... that bike isn't green at all. Oh money... that's what he's talking about. Ha.

I will get a P3C and have it custom painted so I can find it in transition with the 10,000 other P3C's.

Have you been fit yet?

Isaac Joule Aerotic (yeah, its erotic).
Beautiful lines and a brilliant ride.

Or Argon18 E114. Already black and red so Zipps will blend in straight out of the box. The 112 is nice too.

I would go here, http://www.lynskeyperformance.com/, and get them to custom build me a bike to my specs and then paint it to whatever I want it to look like (most likely something in a dark blue with black and the luster of titanium showing through. I would then include the SRAM red groupo and HED 3's. (FYI, I do not work for and am not affiliated with lynskey performance, I just found it and thought it was sweet.)
Number of bikes needed= N+1, where n is the number of bikes you currently own.

Cervélo SLC-SL, Zipp 404. SRAM-Red, Speedplay Zero Ti. But none of this stock white bar-tape crap. Let's really go all out and put some yellow on that thing.
