For 5 big ones, you can get an Ultegra go fast sunny day bike, a
fendered rain bike, a Nexus hubbed beer fetcher, and a unicycle.
Or if you find a frame you like, get an Ultegra bike with nice
traditional American Classic wheels from bikesdirect.com for $1500,
flog the frame and fork on Craigslist for $300, and end up with a
$1200 build kit.
Don't see the point in the Serotta, except to empty your wallet. If
you've got a fat wallet and like it, then by all means, enjoy.
