I am in the market for a tri-bike and will be test riding the Kuota Kaliber and the Cervelo P2C next week. Any advice on which one to choose?

You know the Kaliber is double the price of the P2K?

It will depends on how much money you wanna spend. These are two completely different bikes.
If you are a beginner or not, the P2K is a great bike, just like the Cervélo Dual. The Kuota Kalibur is a full-carbon bike (much better and of course more $$$) and the Cervélos you should compare with it are the P2C or P3C.

Agreed. I think the Kuota fully built up is in the range of the P3C.Are you looking at any other brands or are you sold on the Kuota and Cervelo bikes?

Oh - I meant P2C - not P2K. Not sold on either one yet, but I think I am going to stick with a carbon frameset.

The P3C (2006 version) is only 200 more than the Kalibur. Is there any reason why you would be looking at the P2C and not the P3C? Not doubting the P2C, just wondering. There's also the Plasma Pro model right in the P2C price range. You could also go QR Caliente, too. Just throwing ideas out there....

go with the Kuota.... (almost everyone out there owns a Cervelo - yeah I know its not like that but it seems that way)

(just my opinion anyway)

Well, I looked at the Kaliber, P2C and P3. I chose the P3. The finishing touches are being made now and (hopefully) I will be taking it out this weekend for the 1st real run. Thanks for your input here.

I would go with the bike that fits the best. I have been researching bikes for the past 6 months and the most significant piece of advice I have received is go with the best fitting bike.
