My 585 Ultra was <£1200 for f&f, so I saved a grand I could put towards building it up. I then saved about £200 on the chainset by buying Record 10v after the 11v came out, and so on. If you take all the savings I made by shopping in the sales, getting last year's model etc. and then subtract that from what I actually paid, I reckon I got the whole bike practically for free. I'm pretty sure that's how economics works :-)
