Winter's Coming, Group Buy Ideas?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

A TT frame, it seems that tons of people got them, so everyone else needs some catching up to do. I narrowly missed another forum's Pedafl Force group buy on their AeroBlade.

While the EPO sounds good, I would love to have the Powertap instead.

Can I get plane tickets to climb Kilimanjaro instead?

I'm interested in the idea of a wheelset too, but how about something a little deeper, like this?

List is $980 a pair?

I'd say a quality 50+mm carbon wheelset, and maybe a sub $300 aluminum frame.
Or how about a ti frame?

How bout finding a builder to make an aluminum frame w/BB30 and tapered steerer. $400 and racers would grab them up like hotcakes...
