    By the looks of it the wheels on the Di2 Orro model are worth over £1k. It looks a very good package for the price and it's a very attractive looking bike in my opinion.

    Go for the Orro!

    Is that the disc brake road bike?

    Yes, this one:

    A quick search of the wheelset online says they are 35mm full carbon and I can't see them for under £1k. Not too shabby on a Di2 bike selling for only £2750.

    Actually, forget that, they are the Pro version and I was looking at the spec for the Team version. The Pro are aluminium and worth considerably less. Still a very nice bike though.

    A 2016 CAAD 12 frameset for about £500
    Di2 group set £900
    Decent finishing kit £300
    That leaves you with IRO £800 for wheels (not that you need to spend)

    That would eat the PX alive...

    I don't own a CAAD 12 btw, but I'm tempted to sell some carbon to fix that

    This :!:

    Having owned a CAAD12 DA9000, it was probably my favourite bike to date, just did it all and tough as nails.

    Going to go down the route of building myself as i have good enough wheels to use also. What frames are out there then and should i look at titanium?

    Cheers

    So I've seen the new Felt VR1 frame and had a good deal on that with ultegra Di2 so the new build will be commencing soon. Going to utilise the wheels I already have.

    Exciting times ahead.
