Take into consideration that like Cannondale makes a $1,400 105 bike in AL so does Willier or BMC. I am comparing their Flagship frames and the premium they command. For example, a supersix high mod frame goes for $2,500 (example but +/-), an S-works Tarmac goes for $3,500, a Pinarello FP8 goes for $5,800 and a Storck Fascenario goes for $9,000. These are only frames. Components you can choose afterwards for the same price no matter what the frame.
