Not your dream bike? Heck, it has to be a close second! I am not a fan of the compact design either, but heck, I'd love to have a new bike like that! CONGRATS and ENJOY!

That's what I was thinking just looking at the S-Works frame.

You can find the s-works frame just like that on ebay for around ~$500-600... :D

Yeah. I never understood why/how people can sell a S-Works frame for so cheap on eBay. They're great frames.

Speaking of S-works... i just came from Supergo @ Santa Monica and theres an S-works for $1k all Ultegra w/ Shimano R540 wheels :eek: ...size 56. The catch is... theres a dent on the top tube. :p

folks can sell S-Works frames cheap because they sold them with discounts to a lot of club riders

I don't think I want a new dent in my bike! what do you think about this score on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3667424679&category=22681&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1

Yup, Specialized sold them to our club for $378, which I think was their manufacturing cost. I paid $450 out the door, so the LBS could make a little dough

I got the wheels for about $250, brand new 9 speed Dura Ace $650, bar and stem $150, saddle $75, seatpost $80, tires $50

I love this bike!
