That's $4500 on an al bike. I agree that it's not a waste as you can recoup much of that if you wanted to or move it to a new frame, but I'm curious what the allure is. For about the same price you could get a super6 with red. I'm getting a caad because I can get a good bike for the money I'm willing to spend but if I had 4Gs or more I'd probably be looking at a carbon something.
