Thx for the link. Since I already have a high end race bike and this would be my second bike I'm sure I could even slum it on the RLT 9 if I had to.

$2K for a 105 build. Must resist.

YES!

the RLT is basically the same bike.  the RDO is Race Day Optimized which is fancy speak for crazy light high tech carbon in which you get the cream of the crop for much more muuuuulah!

Yep, the Niner is really nice.

I love the looks of the Trek Boone 5  Disc.

if you're referring to the NINER, I can get you a quote.
while the exchange rate hasn't been to great my shop in Port Colborne is usually the best in Canada for Niner pricing.   ;)

I've put my kidney on ebay, once it sells I'll let you know so you can get me a quote. The good thing is I don't need Di2 and carbon wheels so mine will come in cheaper.

Need to sell my TT-RS to finance my new bad habit

Its better to have love and lost than not loved at all.  ;D

By selling your kidney you will save weight too!  ;D

That's where I would go.  Very compelling.

At just over $1400 CAD this one's looking tempting...

Any kind of decent road bike really, $700-800 range. What kind of resell value do giant bikes normally have? Only had mine for a year but would like a true road bike rather then a hybrid.

To correct myself, the bike in the picture is Felt Double Double 30, MSRP $2099.

$1499 CAD buys Double Double 70:

It's aluminum. Yeah, that price is very tempting. Come next winter, I'll have to have a bike and a fat bike is on top of my wishlist right now. $1400... that's not bad at all...
