I don't own a BD bike but I am very familiar with them. I am more active in the commuting, cyclocross and fixed gear forum and there are plenty of satisfied owners of various BD bikes over there. I want to get a racier dedicated road bike for my next bike and I was browsing their site and this caught my eye for the price

Would this be comparable to say a Supersix with Tiagra?

Basically, is $1100 a really good deal for what you are getting with the Sprint CF or is there a comparable LBS model to be had for a couple hundred more? I have easy access to LBS selling Cannondale, Trek, Specialized, Bianchi, Raleigh and Giant
