. . . that first, they talk about the high price in the review, but they don't mention the actual price. But if the wheels alone usually go for north of $5 G's, then I guess it's one of those "If you have to ask . . . " situations. :eek: :rolleyes:

Second, it only comes with a Force groupset? What-the-Eff? If you can afford the frame and wheels, then surely you can afford Shimano or Campy electronic . . . :confused:

From the review link "second-string SRAM seems a mite ungenerous."

LOL. Those brits. Here is my Kanye translation

"Why the F would you roll SRAM when you got this fine looking, expensive bike, yo!!!!!"

That frame has been out for over a year:

There was a discussion about it here, but it's hard to find anything in the archives relating to "lightweight."

When you said bars, I first thought you meant energy bars...
