We have exactly the same problem. Damn its annoying.
Arent pista's like 699 starting?
Thanks for the kisses btw ;)[/quote]
yep, but add 100-150 for pedals and upgrades. I went for a wheel upgrade (CXP22 - OpenPro) a saddle upgrade (the Condor/San Marco saddle is a new standard in discomfort) and a tyre upgrade (to something vaguely puncture proof). I reckon this is the minimum and the good thing is that you only pay the difference if you spec them at build time.
