Yes, then build it with the lightest parts possible and make a build thread.

We should discuss it long enough for you to get to your required number of posts to be able to play in the classifieds section.

To give you an honest and complete answer, it would be great if we knew more about you. Riding style, where you ride, what rides you do, the main purpose of this bike, your age, weight, height, size of the bike, components that come with the bike, etc, etc, etc.

Without these pertinent facts, there is little we can do to help....

Only if it comes with a hidden motor inside the seat tube like Ryder Hesjedal's.

I have an R3 and like it a lot. The RCA costs like 5x as much so it must be good. You can't go wrong with Squoval tubing.

One thing to note is that the seat angle may be slacker than advertised, so you may want to verify. A buddy (who is looking to sell a 56cm) rides it with a geeky reversed seatpost to get the right seat position. In spite of that, he still loves the bike.
