Hey all,

Was wondering... I have pretty much decided on Chorus, but if the 04 stuff will be the same price as 03, i'll wait, as cabon is sexy.

However, if its going to be a lot more, its not enough sexier i'd pay a bunch extra. Anyone know what the retail price is 04 chorus compared to 03? I found a few tidbits on campyonly.com but nothing that gave me a good idea if I should buy 03, or wait for 04.

thanx,

Jester

Here's a thread at cycling forums regarding 2004 chorus:

Not sure what to make of it as a lot of it is just speculation.

Might find some good close-out pricing on '03 Chorus if you decide against carbon. However, it really looks good. I started out with the Record levers and RD before upgrading all to Record with a new frameset last year.

I'd say you can make book on the price going up quite a bit.

Chorus is probably going to be the same price as Recrod is today, with Record making another leap in price, here are some Euro prices on 2004 Chorus and Record components;
August 13, 2003--OK, you want prices for the 2004 lineup? Try these, which reflect the MSRP for components purchased in Europe. (Prices in the US will be higher, due to import costs, and may fluctuate depending on the value of the dollar as compared to the Euro).

> Chorus carbon crankset: $603US
> Record bottle cage (each): $123US
> Chorus bottle cage (each): $73US

I'm more curious as to the prices of Centaur and Veloce.
