I was wondering if it was more efficient to buy a frame and build it yourself (as in, buying the parts opposed to buying the the bike totally equipped). It doesn't seem like it would be, and the only advantage i see is that you could but every part you wanted on the bike..for an example, i could get a Cervelo team soloist carbon frame for $2800, but the total bike costs $5000 (dura-ace)...are wheels, DA Groupo, stem, etc. less then $2200 if you bought them on their own?
in your experience, do you see any way that you could save money by just getting the frame?
