Used Quidco and I was part of Ebays point scheme for a while, so was able to get a fair bit of cashback too, so around £2100. I bought a Wilier Izoard with Fulcrum R5's and Centaur in September 2010 for £2000. For that reason, I'll never buy a brand new bike or frame ever again unless heavily discounted.

To answer the questions:
I had a Powertap previously, but was getting miffed with having no power when I used my deeps in TT's/races. So I was looking for crank based power and was offered the above deal for £600, or an SRM for £900. I chose the P2M. They're okay. This one drifts by about 40w in the first 10 minutes as it warms up, but my legs need a warm-up if I am going to perform, so it doesn't bother me. I like crank based power, but the powertaps are still a brilliant piece of kit.

As for the Q-rings, I notice no difference at all between them and normal round rings. I should put round rings on really as the Q-rings are only giving me a shifting headache!
