As components seem to ever spiral up in price, do you guys even consider what the ratio should be for the price of the compnent group and the frame. It's just that component groups, specially the ones from the big "C" now usually easily ovartakes the value of most frames that one might consider hanging them on, to the extent that some builds almost seem to be becoming more about the components and not the bike, which is ridiculous because it is the frame that gives identity to the bike.
this component/frame values flip seem to also be happening to high line French builds in the last couple of years, and it really sucks, IMO.

One day, the norm might be "Hey! Look at that beautiful C-Record/Delta going down the street with a Colnago frame on it!"
