The International frameset looks very nice indeed. What I've been wondering about is the potential price. The speculation in the recent thread was that it would be a fair bit more than the 2k asking price for the Record Ace, but after Googling a bit I found a blog that mentioned the MSRP of the International was $5,999.99!!!!!!!!

Now I know Dura-Ace is good stuff, wheels and all, but no way is it worth a $4,000 mark up over Ultegra. If THAT figure happens to be true somebody's drinking the good stuff upstairs!

What the frameset should retail for alone, I don't know. But I know I sure as heck could improve on what they did for that kind of markup!

Hopefully the actual price is somewhat more sensible.
