Interesting also to learn how much one of those giant cassettes costs. I paid less for the last (used) mountain bike I bought. Oh well, I guess I'm not their target demographic.
Seller of my Cipollini said 14.57 lbs. He was off, which I expected. With pedals and cages and Garmin mount and Garmin Edge 1000 amd Varia taillamp and Hotshot taillamp it's 16.7 lbs. A bit lighter than a steel Wraith.
As far as price, my choices were a 2016 Cervelo S5 frame/fork/post assembly and the Cipollini complete plus a new set of Aksiums, an FSA Energy crankset and a set of 6600 calipers.
Both $1100. Easy choice. Same seller and I just made a deal for a DA9100 group with both BB30 and threaded BBs for $450, one season on the group.
