This is true, I googled the ciclo frame before I responded and I realize it is a great frame but I understood from the OPs post that the LBS had the bike sitting there for 1900$USD, which seems a fair bit for a bike that is likely not a custom made frame; how could it be if it is not measured for his/her body? Therefore, it must be either a Ciclo that is measured for someone else who changed their mind about buying it and the LBS is trying to make some money back by switching out the components to something lower or this a run-off Ciclo frame that Marinoni is producing on the cheap (would be news to me).
Someone above me pointed this out, if that isn't the case (the OP will be measured, etc) then, yeah, I suppose that 1900$USD is fine but would any of us put 105 on a custom built frame? Seems like an odd choice of groupo for such a high end frame, doesn't it?
