Lively spec for a 699 quid road bike?

[Sittingduck]

Forks: Easton EC70 Carbon
Groupset: Shimano 105
Chainset: FSA Omega compact (50/34)
Wheels: Fulcrum Racing 7
Tyres: Vredestein Fiammante DuoComp
Handlebar: FSA Gossamer
Stem: FSA Omega
Seatpost: Easton EA30
Frame is Alu
Weight is 9.4Kg for the large size, which I know isn't mega light but not bad!

This seems like a really good spec for the money (at least to me it does). Any thoughts on this or anybody spot anything nasty? I totted up the cost of the components if you were to shop around for the best deals and it pretty much came to about 700, so effictively, you're getting the frame for free

Cheers,
SD

Not half bad I'd say. If it's full 105, no cheap brakes etc especially.

Have you ridden an aluminium-framed bike before? If not, try one before buying: alu can give a very harsh ride.

Seems to be some very good end of season deals around just now. If I had a spare £799 then I would be tempted by this..............

Specialized Secteur Elite, full Shimano 105 spec..

£200 off the RRP to make way for the 2011 model.

Spec looks ok - only thing there's not much detail on is the frame!

 

[Sittingduck]

i'm treating the frame as a freebie - sum of the rest is about 700 and calipers are 105 yeah

And what colour is the frame?

Very nice SD - you gonna get one?

 

[jay clock]

if that is it, I must say I am not keen on the look.... Seems a bit 80s.....

 

[jay clock]

just googled it and it is indeed a late 80s replica.....

Order is placed

Oh and I quite like the retro 80's look! Something a bit different from the Spesh Allez and blue framed Ribbles one see's routinely.
