I bought the 2011 R3 last January when you could get $1,000 off each bike if you bought two. With the discount, and the Rival set up, it was $2,200. I think I would have upgraded to the Ultegras if I had to do it again, solely because I prefer the shifting of Shimano over the double clicking of SRAM.
After riding for the last year, the R3 is an amazing bike. It's great on a quick 45 minute ride and I still felt good after doing a 3.5 jaunt. I highly recommend it.

I was skeptical about Double tap, until I used it last season. Once you get used to it, it is superior, IMO.
