I have no idea why it has become so expensive with bikes. I am mostly amazed these top of the line bikes actually sell.
Personally i would never be able to buy one of these anymore. Next bike is probably something made of alu, might be custom though!
It really depends on where you live. For instance, in my country, buying a stock tarmac sl7 duraace equates to one year average salary. If you live in USA, the average one year salary would buy you 4 of those same tarmac sl7. Prices are relative to income.
I would probably get 1 1/3. Not really that much of a difference.
If i bought a Pinarello from Italy i would pay same. Needless to say what bike i would pick.
Problem is, inspite of both having disc brakes i would probably never take one of these out in worse conditions than my current rim brake bike.
Nah, perhaps it's better to go down a notch when it comes to a new bike.
Luckily i'm not crazy in love with the 12(*2) groupsets and not sure i am all that in for a new frameset either so i can wait.
I'd like to see something of a groupset that has way lower friction (revolution).
But hey, it's free to dream and maybe that's what we have to settle for
