So I decided to save some $$$, and buy a used Soloist frame. This way, I can use the money elsewhere on other fun things like a cool rear wheel.
So I just won this Soloist off of Ebay for $610. Retail on the Soloist is $1200. So about half off. The other bonus for saving a bundle on this is that, I will buy another Cervelo seatpost, one that is set up for TT's. With the nature of this bike, the post head can be flipped around to make this either road geometry or time trial geometry. If I have another seatpost with saddle pre-mounted, making this switch will be really simple.
The only major issue with this used frame is it has some tire rub with wore through some of the metal in the seat stays, but I dont think this will be an issue, other than cosmetic. The only other thing is that I really wanted the anodized black frame as they sell it now. But with the amount I saved on this, I could get this custom anodized, but I probably wont.
