I know, that's what I was thinking. It is super clean but the discription wasn't really acurate and it seemed to have an odd mix of Super Record and Victory components. And Bottecchias don't generally garner the really big bucks like that. I was willing to go $1200 since it is exactly what I want and I was planning to swap the drivetrain so the Victory components didn't matter but $1675?? Not a chance!
