Having said that the specialised to my knowledge have one hell of a nice frame compared with most other brands.
Just on the side also, I have not looked around for deals as I don't need a new bike but you can pick up some absolute bargains with older models. For example my boss is selling a 2009 Avanti Cadent Team (Carbon ZERO wheels, carbon frame, seat post, full dura ace) was in 2009 worth 10,500 and he has 4,500 on it. Just one example but do your research and find an older model and then you will get a lot more bang for your buck and honestly the difference between 2009 dura ace and 2012 dura ace is maybe 50 grams and bugger all else.
Very nice bike I am on a Quantum Team the more race oriented version. Pretty much the same thing though.
Ps not trying to sell you this bike just pointing out that you can do better when looking around for what is left of old stock.
