After paying GST I think they should come in at A$1375 delivered. Hit me with your thoughts?
Get a power meter and ride up grades instead of buying 'upgrades' that really make no difference at the end of the day.
Its mostly just marketing hype. I worked in the industry. Ive never had a drivers license. I will bang out the same wattage up Norton Summit with the latest DA wheels as a 100$ pair of shimanos. Maybe 4-5 seconds quicker over 15minutes. Srsly, get a power meter and you will understand what the fuss is about.
