    It will still be terrible value as a full build and not available as a frame only.

    Having recently bought a built version of the Bronson I am distressed to find that for the same RRP as I paid I could have got a better specced bike now than I did also they now come with CCDBA as an option over the float, Pikes and all sorts of other good stuff.

    They're certainly not cheap but they look decent value, certainly better than the old build kits. Where they've really dropped the ball is not offering the cheaper frames individually. Tbf by shopping around I reckon you could easily build the more expensive frame with similar kit to the cheaper frames and complete builds. Still lusting after a 5010C especially as the matte black/white is spot on IMO.

    Its difficult to see what the "saving" is when the builds arent comparable between the Carbon and Carbon C. The price difference from the Alloy S build to the Carbon S build seems more than it used to be for the R AM build. From a Canadian point of view at least.
