What the heck is going on these days with road bikes? It wasn't that long ago that a bike with this sort of frame quality/geometry, carbon bladed forks and mainly Shimano running gear would have cost twice this!! It's almost enough to get any hardened mountain man into a tight pair of sausage gropers and hit the black top. We said almost.....

Thsi is a very tidy offering and under $900 is almost insane. Yeah ok, you can wear baggies if necessary. Check it out.
