part it out
IF I was in the market for a $12k+ bike I would certainly want my own parts pick, and although yours are top choices, i doubt they would overlay exactly on top of what someone with that budget would want. when buying used, i expect a price break, since I may not have 100% assurance of frame history, warranty xfer, getting EXACTLY what I want, and the fact that it is used (not brand spanking rolled off the dealer floor new).
good news for you is it is stock frame size. so no custom geo or tubing issues.
bad news is there are other deals out there...I saw a new prince BOB 55cm for $4900 last week (f/f/hs/most post). with that I may end up spendig $7k on the build but I'd get EXACTLY what i want - no compromises
dont get me wrng. the $12k isnt the issue to me. its the getting exactly what i want for $12k that is the issue for me
