There's some Felt that's between $700-$100K, IIRC.
. . . or maybe that's what the double-secret Team In Training price was (that I was being let in on).

Unkie what's the BA weather like in the fall?
Indian summer up until the first week of November, then it gets "cold" (read: south of 70F).
Doesn't matter though - after August, you still have to pack two layers and a wind shell if you actually go into San Francisco.

They actually DO hit in that price range. They make good stuff. Buy the best frame you can...the rest can be easily upgraded...

This I know. . . there's a guy on my floor that built a Cervelo from Craigslist ads to the tune of ~$2K
The frame and fork I want cost more than that..

I figure, given my work and rehearsal schedules, I'd only ride 1-4 recreational hours a week, and maybe. . . maybe, commute to work 1 day a week in the summer.
Titanium would be overkill for me, but otherwise, have at it.
There's also the fact that I'm looking at getting a new Horn within the year. . . speaking of custom fabrication.

MSRP on the Cervelo as a whole would have wound up ~$5K. C-records, the whole enchilada.

I'm downgrading my motorcycle and car budgets to accommodate the acquisition...
