Pros: 
Most solid all-around bike I've found
Cons: 
Stock wheels

As a cyclist + triathlete who’s been riding competitively for well over a decade and who’s had the fortune to work in some of the finest bike shops in the country, I have seen my share of crap and my share of totally unrealistic, tricked-out, five-figure rides. I’ve raced on many and loved a few. And the Cervéo P2C gets one of my best reviews. No other bike I’ve been on or purchased covers a broader range of athletes, from the budget-blessed beginner to the aspiring pro. It is an excellent blend of leading-edge technology and design wrapped in a package of respectable components that have yet to disappoint race day. For sprint racers, it is light, stiff and a joy to fly on. For iron-distance athletes it’s provided me with a surprisingly comfortable, stable perch on many a 112 journey. I always recommend any competitive rider spend a few dollars to get a true bike-fit done, http://www.all3sports.com provided mine, and it fits like an Italian suit. Now, I know you see a ton of Cervélos at the races and part me hates to see such a homogeneous brand take over, but this bike is one of the most popular rides for good reason: it’s a fast, solid ride and the best bike for the money. Period.
