So having done my research, I'm off the idea of CF due to the reality that a bike spec'd the way I want would run well in excess of $2k. While the Grail still tugs at my intrigue, I just don't know if I'm willing to take the plunge on a bike that's hard to customize. I'm now leaning very strongly towards the Norco Search XR aluminum with full 105 and hydraulic discs.
