P2T
We felt it was about time people had the option of buying an affordable, well-made, full aero track bike. There are several nice aero track frames available, but they are extremely expensive and heavy. And with the introduction of the new UCI rules, these bikes aren't as aero anymore as they used to be. So the goal was simply to make a track framefor a mid-level price with better aerodynamics and a lower weight than the (carbon) competition. The P2T uses the same aerodynamic features as the P2K, but with a track–specific geometry and bottom bracket stiffness. As far as the Olympic-level performance goes, it debuted in Sydney in the men's points race to the full satisfaction of Team Canada.Now after a full season of racing and several Canadian and US track championship wins, the P2T is quickly becoming the frame of choice for everything from pursuits to points races, thanks to its adjustable geometry.
In order to decrease the drag of the rear wheel, the P2T seattube has a cut-out for the rear wheel. This feature can decrease the drag on a complete bike (complete with aerowheels) by as much as 30%, provided the rearwheel is positioned close behind the cutout. However, having the tire further behind the cutout (large gap between frame and tire) offered almost no improvement compared to having no cut-out at all. Short of a curved cut-out such as on the P3, no other refinement on the frame is going to have as big an improvement as a deep, close fitting rear wheel cut-out.
To give you flexibility in setting up your P2T track bike for different events, we have incorporated an adjustable seatpost which offers an effective seattube angle range between 73 and 78 degrees. So whether you are setting the bike up for pursuits, points races or sprints, you will always be able to get the proper seattube angle. Below you will find tables for a 74 and 77 degree seattube angle, for other angles you can interpolate/extrapolate the numbers.
