Hey... this gives me hope, this is way hotter than the one I borrowed. Maybe I'll pick up that ebay frame if the guy confirms that it's in mint condition. $1250 for the frameset and stem seems a bit high no?

And as for your next bike, keep your pants on. There's nothing worse than an impulsive purchase.
That said, I, too, want a frameset with better power transmission. My entry level road bike/framset is such a piece

I've been riding in the hoods, uncomfortably o at the back of the hoods, and i've been racing in the drops as long as I can handle it . It was the stiffness and powe transfer that eally impessed me. I'm going to keep looking for a system six for a few weeks if I can't find one I'm going to go back to looking at the CAAD9 or S1, I get to test ride them this wednesday. There is also the six 5 but it's only 105.

I'm not jumping to buy it or anything but i found a System Six frame/fork/stem/seat post for $900, it's new been built but supposedly never ridden. The owner doesn't have the warranty card, does that mean that this bike has no warranty/crash replacement?

Just found a System Six in my size and my exact paint with dura ace 7800 ksyrium es's, and SI hollow tech cranks, retails 4700 they're willing to do it for 30% off. I'm going to put a down payment on it probably and then sell the ksyriums. I'm a happy effin' camper right now.
