After reading Coggan and Hunter's book and listening to all of you rave about training with power, I cannot help but desire to do the same. I am a college student on a budget so obtaining one of these bad boys is going to be a challenge if I want to stay within my budget. I prefer to stick with the PT because it is the cheapest of actual measured power meters (I prefer to stay away from devises that only estimate based on formulas). I want a unit that is reliable. I do not ride outdoors if weather is nasty but I do need a unit that will hold up in case I get caught in rain or have to ride through puddles. I see that performance has the PT pro built on an open pro rim for 999$ and with a 20% coupon I would only be paying 800$. I do not care about not having an aero wheel so the open pro is fine. The other option that seems to be the cheapest is ebay. What model do you guys suggest? I would like to be able to purchase the PT and all necesarry accessories (including stuff needed to download my info to my computer) along with cyclingpeaks wko+. Are all recent models coming with coded HR monitors? Any other things I should look out for/stay away from?
