Bar swap?

I'm looking to build up my old Cervelo P3 as a road bike. Instead of retiring it, I want to swap the Oval A900 bars for some STI's and a drop bar setup. I'll maybe upgrade the cassette and rear derailleur to 10spd while I'm at it. If anyone is looking to trade for the bars for the parts I need... let me know... leave a comment or email me a greg at mytrilife dot calm.

Write an update on how it turns out.
I may be doing the same on my tri bike so I dont have to buy a road bike for road races and great to have the tri geom. for muscle use.

I doubt you would comply with the UCI regulation for seat distance behind the bottom bracket with most tri geometry bikes.

The beauty of the P3 is that it was made to be ridden UCI compliant. So for road racing purposes, you just have the seatpost in rear position, and move the seat rearward. So... for me.. not even close to my triathlon TT position, but UCI legal.
