However, given the bargain basement price, and incredibly low weight of the frame and fork, I would think he'd be thrilled with the price vs. performance ratio.

The fact that he isn't suggests that the amount of additional value offered by the highest end, lightest carbon frames (assuming his frame is comparable to an actual cervelo) compared to less expensive, slightly heavier frames is somewhere between marginal and non-existent.

Would a cervelo owner be willing to buy one of these workswell frames and compare?
