Its already 2am: Raz still doesn't have a 5D Classic

Hmm I just checked... I don't have the Ultegra brakes, which I may try and snag down the road, but with the brakes (typically $150 or so) this Ultegra set is like $1500

Bought

It's a 2010 GT GTR Series 1

Specs can be found here (I got a Med = 54cm)
2010 GT GTR Series 1

$1400 with 15% off, so $1200 or so before tax. Oh and double reward points on GT so I get 20% back as in store credit. So I just bought pedals/shoes today and I'll buy a helmet and clothing later this weekend once my points hit. I ended up spending around $1650 after tax and some other small stuff, but I should have $300 or so in reward credits, so I have a list of other things to buy.

Pedals (about $100 after discounts)
Shimano Ultegra 6700 Pedals

Shoes (On Clearance about $100 after discounts )
Sidi Zephyrs

Sweet pick up man! You made out like a bandit! Some Ultegra components and the points to help you out with picking everything up! Has to be a light frame as well.

Yeah man. Thats why i was trying to tell you to get the best components you can with the bike. Its expensive as hell to get them later. For that you just buy a brand new bike. Unless your frame costs 4 grand in which buying the component set is just better.

Yeah, it's noticably lighter than like the R-570.

Oh and not just some Ultegra components, everything but the brakes

Pretty sure the components are worth more than the bike.

brakes are over rated, speed is more important

Yeah. From what I've read there isn't a huge difference between the 105 and Ultegra, Ultegra is a lot more expensive and a little lighter and that's about it. So I would have been happy with either, but it's nice to have a Shimano Crank and not a FSA one like I would have had on the Scattantes.

No no no... all of the components cost $1500. The brakes cost about $150, but that's the entire brake assembly.

Julian TSE with incredible dof? you have?
