The Canyon Inflite blows it away at the same price point. The local shop still gets my money for certain things, like sale jerseys and lube, chains, occasional new gels to try out, etc. My “local” is 35 miles from home.
Why are those particular bikes marked up so much, in your opinion? Wouldn't they sell a bunch more of them if they are 5500 bucks instead of $12K? I am never going to spend 10 grand on a bicycle. Never. And I could. But I won't. I don't think I am alone in this view...
