That's about how much I paid for my Cannondale SuperSix Evo Di2 (4th of July sale) + upgrades to a Bontrager Montrose Pro carbon saddle, Ultegra crankset (to replace Cannondale SI+FSA), Bonty Pro 3 carbon wheels and tubeless tires, Dura-Ace chain and brake rotors.

I could have my LBS move the transmission and wheels over to the new frame, buy handlebars and seatpost, and still have a SuperSix frame with the OEM wheels+tires, seat, crankset and handlebars to either eBay for cost recovery or spend a little bit to build a second non-Di2 bike (maybe 105 or standard Ultegra).

Nope. Not gonna do it. Can't think like that. I can hear the wallet crying.
9k for a bike lol. Dumbest purchase you could ever make.
