Whaddaya reckon it costs to assemble a brand new modern bike from parts, including a DA group?
Thylo could give ya a quote...

Heck, I woulda sold you my bike for 3200, and it's only 4 years old and has Dura-Ace.

I bought a 10 yr. old 18hh bay thoroughbred gelding for a grand once. The owner had raced him, shown him and evented him.She was going to break his leg for the insurance.
My mistake.

You've hurt my bikes feelings and I demand an apology.

The only 'used' bits on it are the derailleurs. Fresh drivetrain baby...oh yeah.

The new DA costs a bomb. Got the recently superceded kit for a customer for about 1300.....so.....2995 for a frame......600 for wheels......400 for bits...............say 6.5k?

Chumps and wankers.

Skim pricing, it'll come down..just have to wait

[stevebaby]

If...if I had an unlimited budget for bike stuff I would probably turn my garage into an Ali Baba's cave of cycling. I'd have at least one of everything, even if I never used it.
Just for the "gloat" factor.

Everyone seems to be running 7800 chains over the 7900 (even SRAM teams) ... and the 'Cervelo Test Team' appear to be 'testing' 7800 DA at the Giro.

Footy talkback caller tried to say 'aesthetically', but came out with:

"asetedly to look at"

he even chucked in the tautology for good mesure
