What is the sort of entry level cost for a full Dura-Ace (presumably also therefore full carbon) road bike?
Am I right in thinking that Dura-Ace is the best from Shimano, with SRAM Red being an approximate/slightly better equal? Also that Ultegra is "one down" from Dura-Ace, with 105 being below that?
Just thinking ahead for a new road bike in the Spring 2012 - will probably be looking for a discounted 2011 bike.

If wanting a bike with Dura Ace/Red etc, I'd build it up myself so everything was perfect.
Having said that, the Canyon ones are pretty good value!

So we're looking at about £2.5k?
If building it myself, what sort of cost saving would that make - presume it's still going to be >£2k?
I do like the look of that Canyon in your link - very tasty!0 -
I looked at self build but going to go for Canyon instead.
If you are lucky might get Dura Ace on ebay for £700-£800
Then you need a quality frame to go with quality components.
And wheels of course too :-)0
