Id recommend riding one... Aesthetically they are understated. In the flesh the finish of a frame like this is a step up on mass produced road frames. Having owned 3 cervelos (which i liked alot) its pretty apparent. There is no orange peeling in paint / lacquer or pin spots. The visible weave is very carefully laid and the same quality when you look in the headtube / bb to the interior faces of the tubes. Not going to pretend it justifies the uplift in price. But that's very hard to quantify.
