I paid $1500. Since I'm going to use it on tarmac around Central Park in the winter and on gravel/dirt/tarmac roads in the Berkshires in the summer, it's perfect.

Best pieces of advice I got here:
-BB is worthless
-used Di2 is a liability
-aggressive fit might not be a good choice
Worst piece of advice:
None really
Congrats! Ride the heck out of it!!
