I've been in the industry for nearly 10 years and I can't recall a big brand bike with those specs for less than 8 grand. Obviously, you're not paying UK mail order prices for Dura Ace from the Big 4, Giant, Trek, Specialized and Cannondale.

So this news thrills you or not? No real surprise, double margin at LBS, remove that margin when direct to consumer. Not the first time a bike/thing maker has gone direct.
