    Got the AR4 and love it, such a great ride compared to my more run of the mill F75. Assume AR5 can only be better as higher spec on it.

    AR5 is lower spec than AR4, unless I've got the wrong end of the stick. Still a great bike for that sort of money though.

    I bought an AR5 a few months ago and love it. It's reasonably light, responsive and smooth. The aero profile is superb with the right wind direction but be prepared for a 'side swipe' in crosswinds, especially when passing a gap in a hedgerow. It's not a bike that you see frequently and the matte carbon finish is great (I think!). The only things that I thought needed replacement were the wheels (Mavic Ksyriums Elites with Conti 4000s), the saddle (Specialized Toupe) and the bar tape (Eolo white). I feel you'll be getting a lot of bike for your money especially as they've dropped the price (damn it!!!!).
