Yeah I know. I'm actually hoping to send the CC off to college with my son in a few years. But I think I'll have trouble convincing him to take that rather than the road bike which he likes more.
I might want to just buy a frameset and build up, it's more fun that way, although it would certainly end up more expensive. $1195 for frameset, and no third-party-seller market to look for better deals. But I would want to change a few things anyways, like Gevenalle shifter levers, maybe hydraulic brakes, a nice ultrawide cassette that goes to 40 or 42...
