I am by no means a bike expert and have tried bikes based on bike shop recommendations and my opinion of fit, feel, and function, but I love my QR Lucero. For the same money as a base Cervelo, I got some race wheels and a pretty nice setup.

That said, you're probably more likely to find a deal on a previous year's model Cervelo since they are more common - that's how KSH did it, and it's a great way to go. Cervelos are pretty popular tried and true tri bikes, that's for sure. My LBS only stocks a few QRs compared to Cervelos, so I got what was new (I'm also a shortie, so I don't get things stocked in my size anyway).
