First post.
I am going to order either the QR PRFive Disc 2 or the QR X-PR. Doing the "fit ready" option. I am thinking of saving a few bucks and ordering the PRFive Disc 2. The PRFive has a higher retail price than the X-PR which perhaps naively makes me think that $3,095, down from $4,795, is a great deal over the X-PR which is $3,495 down from $3,995. Both are outfitted at that price similarly. Am I being foolish thinking I am saving $400 with the older frame on the PRFive? Is the X-PR worth the price difference?
A little about me--I have not done a triathlon since the 2011 IM AZ. I did a few back then. I am pretty familiar with the training process and so forth but I am not fast. I was not then and I won't be now. I am only about 35 lbs heavier than I was then and less flexible. I will be doing the Oregon IM 70.3 and looking at a anything sub 7 hrs as a win. I am not as fast as I was back in 2011 but I actually have money for a dedicated triathlon bike now. I just can't blow all the money in the world with 2 kids in college and 2 more still at home.
