Maybe the OP was referencing a 10 speed version or perhaps an older model.[/QUOTE]
No Its a 2017 Ultegra. In fact I found another dealer offering the same price (actually $9 more $1409) .. Guess they want to make room for new models.
In any case I took a test ride and while I liked the bike I have a sentimental attachment to my Lotus... And maybe I am not sophisticated enough of a rider yet to appreciate the differences. I do know that I have 1400 more in my pocket. I decided to hold off until I have some more seat time. I rather pay a little more and be sure of what I want.
