Anyone have any experience with this bike? How would this compare to the P2C? What would you think is a good deal on a new 2008 model?

Gotta lose that head fat.

Too much money, not enough bike. Not really all that impressive to look at either. I guess they don't make this one anymore... this bike was sweet looking at least...

I disagree. Just IMHO though. I think Pin has a great road rep and puts out a good bike. I believe this model is their first entry into the tri market (although to keep their roadie cred they call it a "TT" bike in marketing pub). I've found complete bikes with DA built-up for $4,000, which I think is about right for that bike, considering their Prince frameset is $5,000 and their top TT bike is nearly $6,000. So you are getting a complete Italian TT with DA groupo for $4,000. Not bad.

The bike I saw comes with Ultegra.
