I've notice now how incredibly expensive the build-up is, an example would be Condor, their frame is more expensive, due to the current situation, the Condor Pista frameset cost £500, whether 14 Bikes Co is £450.
Now, if you want a fully build Condor Pista, it only cost a mere £300 extra than the frameset price and it have some decent reliable component too (if not better), it also show that they discounted the component/frame when it's build up (and since it's Condor's own, they don't charge an extra £100).
14 Bikes Co at £1254 is just shitload, as much as I like the shop and the people who work the price is taking the mickey.
In fact, you might as well get a Condor Classico Pista with some different component and still be cheaper than 14 Bikes.
