so basically 5800 then?

no doubt, it looks like a great bike. And that figure is reasonable to start with.

Still a few things to consider though:

- The bike is in San Diego - how do you intend to transport it? that is surely going to cost a few hundred or more whether it is shipped or if you go out there and bring it back yourself. Props if you ride it home from San Diego [thumbsup]

- You going to have the shop do the 12k or do it yourself (or the unspoken and cheapest 3rd option: get Hiero all liquored up and let him have at it one sunday) ? If you have it done at the shop that is only more ka-ching! to consider as 4V adjustments on these bikes are notoriously pricey and you'd be lucky to get it done (at a shop that is) for under 500.

So both of those are going to factor into the final cost you wind up paying for the bike.
