Bike Check: James Cunnama's Cervélo P5X

['Dale]

Two triathletes passed me on this beast of a bike last weekend

 

It ain't pretty

But sure is quite an evolution (re-evolution of) of a frame

And what is up with the Mechanically driven hydraulic disc brakes(so it seems to me)

 

Its mentioned in the article, those are used for compatibility with non-hydro brake levers. The bike is originally designed with etap but he couldnt use it because of compatibility reasons, the etap would have have hydro brakes so these were most likely used as a compromise. 

 

I think that bike is flippen sexy.

I can appreciate the purpose built meticulous engineering that went into designing this machine.

 

Having said that it is still fugly as fug

Nothing special... Quintana Roo have been making than design since Moses played scrumhalf for Egypt

K@K funny

Same thought from me. Surely if you're going to have wire levers, why not just have mechanical discs all round...not like the brakes get used much anyway?

Biggest question... Can I do Munga on it?
