Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is this a good price?

Was looking at replacing my bike for an XL and came upon this.
https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...rue&quantity=1

Is the deal as good as they are suggesting?

Price seems reasonable and it has solid components. Did you test ride it?

What would it have to be called to be worth $2600?

Can you find SRAM Red carbon bikes by other manufacturers for 2600? I'm no expert.

Where the Red is a great selling point, the remainder of the groupset is mediocre at best. I suppose if you had the chance to ride it and were sure it fit and suited your needs it would be worth consideration at the price point.
