I wonder if this means the Garmin Vectors will finally get released.

It will be interesting to see what this does to the prices on the used market.

I bought a 975 quarq on closeout with plans to sell my PT wheelset.  I suppose I should have done that earlier...LOL.

Looks like my GF will be training with power as I won't bother trying to sell now.

I doubt too much yet. Dropping the MSRP 40% or $510 sounds like a lot but I think a lot of the G3s were selling for around that number or less than that anyway.

Wheelbuilder.com updated their prices - DT Swiss wheel, G3 hub, joule GPS, and disk cover, 1400 bucks shipped. That's a solid deal.
