he could in theory get it to dip 7ki with a set of mavic rsys slr... but the full build will creep closer to rm20k...

weight is not his primary target... just a case of over-expectations...

already had to drop a lot of planned stuff just not to stretch his original budget..

not likely if that is the price in RM...

http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/roa...x-sl4-sora-disc

the roubaix in sora form does not retail for less than usd1.8k...

better mail the fella and verify... COD will be the best if you do want to proceed....
