The MSRP on the VXS Translink frameset alone ranges from $3800 to $4500. My bike is built with a complete Dura Ace 7800 10 speed gruppo, all Time carbon fiber stems and pedals, Cane Creek carbon tubular racing wheels, FSA K-Wing carbon handlebar, Specialized Toupe carbon / Ti seat. I raced this bike for the 2008 season, 10-12 long road races. It was never crashed. There are a few small signs of wear and tear from normal use (see the pix), like a small scratch in the decal on the top tube from my cleat. I am selling the bike because we are due for our second child in December, and I will probably not be racing enough next season to justify having this exquisite a bike hanging on the rack. Bike will be carefully boxed and shipped by my team's shop for $100. Payment by money order, cashier's check, or personal check (after clearance) only. Below is a chart of the overall weight of the bike as sold, and the value of the parts, according to wrenchscience.com. The value new is $8200. My opening price for this marvy bike is the low-ball value of the frame alone: $3800.
