Doesn't that bike cost around 4 or 5K? Shocked I thought I was nuts spending $1600 on a bike.
Nah, mine is a 2008, the price has gone up since then. I got mine w/ the pedals, shoes, cages, and cyclocomputer all for around $3,000 which is in my opinion is not a lot of money at all for a bike.
I'm getting the Cervelo S2 next year. They start at $4,000 depending on with gruppo you get. If you get it with Dura-Ace 7900, some nice Zipp race wheels, Garmin GPS cyclocomputer, and carbon cages and carbon pedals, you're looking around $7,000 - $8,000 or more. That's my next bike.
My dream bike though is the Cervelo S3 Team edition, as is when ridden in the Tour de France. It's price tag: $11,000
