Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That doesn't explain the Soloist Carbon frameset's reduction in price from $3200 to $2800.

Or the RS being $2200. "After all, your flexibility has nothing to do with your performance level"

They announced this at EuroBike. I'm glad i got mine this year as i dont like the white at all. And the graphics on the RS are ugly.
