This bike takes the record for the most expensive bike I've assembled. This distinction was previously held by a pair of Colnago C40's w/ Campy Record when we sold Colnago in Muncie.
Saturday a guy comes in carrying a Cannondale Super 6 frame and a Campy Super Record 11speed group. While the frame does very little to impress me, it is a sweet bike I must say. It has some serious Euro flare w/ the Team Liquigas paint job and the red Fulcrum Racing 0 wheels. It also has a MOST integrated bar/stem, which retails for $600 alone. So, while those Colnagos that held my record for so many years were ~$5,000, which was a ton in the early 2000's, (probably '01 or '02) this bike is up near $10,000!
I test rode it after building it. It rides nice. The one downfall of the whole situation is the dude bought EVERYTHING off eBay, so he has a $10,000 bike w/ no warranties.
While we're on new things, this is my new post-workout wardrobe. Skins compression wear. I'm hoping they'll help me recover better/faster and help w/ my glute/ITB problems.
Oh, and speaking of new again, we got ~2" of new snow today Yeah! I get to shovel more! My back is already jacked from all the shovelling I've done so far. Hopefully this will be about it.

Nice bike! Im sure you are digging some of the Euro-flare. I am always amazed at the number of high dollar bike builds we do at our shops. Within the last two weeks we have throw together a dozen or so $8K plus rigs. From Cervelo S3's to custom S Works Transitions... I supposed its not hard to do when you throw on a SRM and some Zipps!
