Speaking of BD, this thread had me poking around over there.

That's a damn good deal, the frame is whatever but it's actually all Ultegra plus pretty decent DT Swiss P1800 wheels for $1,600. I'd buy that in a second if I were in the market.
I would immediately replace those weird ergo drops they use, though. Hate those.

I'd love to get this bike, but it's a terrible fit for me.

They seem to size by the actual TT, not the virtual ....head tube is a little tall (which is good for fat folks like me,) The fork has an alloy steerer, but the wheels and Ultegra parts make up for a lot. For the money it is a good deal. moat big-name bikes at that price point are Al frame with Sora and four-pound wheel sets.
