Mind you, I didn't pay list price.
Maybe I haven't been doing it completely wrong. My '04 Time was $2500 for just the frame. In today's dollars, that would be a lot more than the $3K I most recently spent on my Storck (complete bike with a very nice spec). There are things I like better about the Storck, and things I like better about the Time.
