Prices on everything are eye watering right now.
The bike overall looks good. I think the issue people are having with carbon bikes built overseas costing as much as metal bikes built in the US is a bit overblown. The amount of hand steps in doing the layups on these bikes all seems extreme if you watch the videos of how it's done.
Taiwan or even China labor can't make the bike cheap if it takes that much more time to build it than a metal bike. There are just too many more pieces that go into a carbon frame.
Geometry and overall look on this are good. I think they did an exceptional job of making it look good with what look to be riser stems even in the marketing pictures. Not sure what they are but they kind of look like they are 0 or 5 degree and it looks very clean with straight lines.
