I don't get how people can buy 7000 dollar bikes and then talk about disc covers...

Terrible phone camera pic. 2010 Felt B2 Poor thing is just collecting dust. LOL. Race wheels are a Zipp disc or PT with cover and a 66mm Reynolds carbon on the front.

Here's what I'm doing the clubs evening TT's on this year. I rebuilt my winter bike for the job, as the frames a bit small for me. I got fed up last year changing the seat and putting on tribars every Thursday. I started running 72" fixed, now nearer 90". It weighs a ton, but I'm doing faster times than last year, even in the first events when I was on a twiddly gear. Perhaps there's something to fixed gear for TT's. None of the courses we use are totally flat either.
The disc wheel is made with a mavic CXP 30 tub built on an old campag road hub, covered with plastic. Does the job! Not really UCI legal, but I don't do UCI TTs. Riding these on fixed has made them great fun!

Like I said on ST, that is my favorite color combination. I've really been trying hard not to have mine painted, thanks for throwing me off course.

Hello,
The main piece of information that I can provide is that this particular frame is no longer available from Bianchi. I have seen it on ebay a couple of times. I don't know how many Bianchi made over the couple of years that it was in their lineup.
Here is how it looked when I finally went under an hour in a 40K TT this past weekend:
Put an adjustable stem on the bike to get the bars a little lower per my fitter's recommendation. Also put a Chorus UT crank on it to replace the older aluminum Chorus (square taper) crank.

Thanks, I like it a lot too. 
Here I am suffering a bit on it during the California Senior Olympics 10K TT:
I may need to drop the saddle a smidge even though I've been setting PRs on the bike since my Retul fitting last year.
My personal "Training with Power" fund is always ready to accept donations.

That's a custom painted P3? It's beautiful. Don't forget to lop off the steerer once you're done dialing your fit. It's an aesthetic blemish on an otherwise stunning bike.

Latest photo of my P3... Front end changed from integrated Vision Tech bars to Mistral Pro aerobars to comply with the latest UCI rule directive enforced for all TT's here in Australia. Also replaced the Dura ace 7800 cranks with a wired FSA SRM.
