Repeat after me - "Retail is for loooooseerrrrrssss."

For 9k I could do a full custom Tephra Ti frame with Reynolds carbon stays, full Dura Ace, Zipp 303 wheels..........what a joke.

Who spends 9 grand just on a frame, forks, stem and post!? The Time stuff is nice, but not that nice. In fact, the Carbon-Ti composite design I want to do for my own next personal roadie would only be 5k for the frame, forks, stem and bars. That would leave a customer 4 grand for parts!!!!
