If you shop and wait around, you might see some other frames pop up, some of which may even be fully built bikes if you decide to up your budget.
Food for thought, a brand new Guru Flite carbon frame from an authorized dealer is $1500 and change. Having said that, if you absolutely must have the Fuji Altamira, then go for it. Build it up, ride it, and post pics.  |
I think $1300 is a pretty damned good price for what was listed. How does a $1500 frame/forkset even compare in any way? Figure to spend about 500-700 on drive train and brakes, 200-300 on cockpit, and 300-500 on wheels--and that's just for mostly mid level components. At least 1000-1500 to have a frame built up, and you're double or more over the original $1300 for a complete bike
