Didn't know Quarq made a DA powermeter! Very sick.

Thanks! Yes, they do. Nice to add the quarq, and still be able to use the smooth DA rings.

For sure. How are you liking the 2016 over the 2014 model? Any major difference? I'm thinking of getting a TCR if I can't get a warranty replacement for my Pinarello. Thanks!

Both are well handling, stiff and efficient frames. The 16 somehow feels a little lighter, more agile and comfortable (to the extent you can call a race bike comfy) than the 14. Probably because of the smaller diameter integrated seatpost. Most of the tube profiles are actually noticeably smaller on the 16, still it is super stiff and smooth. I would say go for it :)
