That's a great deal, but you're comparing apples to oranges. I have never been interested in carbon frame bikes. It's my bias. If you're into carbon, that's cool, but I am STRICTLY a metal guy. My BD.com bike is titanium. If you can find a titanium frame road bike with full ultegra, good wheel sets, and other top end componentry for less than 2 Gs, then that's great. I shopped around for months and was not able to find any titanium ultegra bikes for anywhere close to 2 Gs.
