Dura Ace bike for 2600$ from Sava
« on: Today at 06:42:04 AM »
Hey there,

Just wanted to point out your attention to the new bike that Sava released, the whole bike costs as a groupset (about 2600$).

  • It's full Dura Ace, no mix with cheap components
  • Carbon wheels (thou sales team doesn't know what spokes they use, weight and other)
  • Weight is 7.32kg
  • Terrible Chinese paint job included



What do you think?

My reasons to do something else are pretty weak but strong enough for me. One, it's ugly. Two I hate chunky proprietary seatposts. 3, yes DA R9200 is cool and amazing at this price, but I dont think Im alone in saying Id rather go with a lower/older groupset to be able to do a custom build for the same money. If they let you pick your handlebar dimensions and crank length then yea it might be the move.

Cannibalizing this bike for the sake of Dura Ace seems like a good motivation. Planet Xs have been bought quite often for this exact reason ;D

My thoughts exactly, it's like you are buying Dura Ace and getting free frame, wheelset, 3d printed saddle and other stuff, you can sell them and give back some of your money ;D
