Well you all know i work at a road shop

so today i was given a $2000 frame w00t w00t its a trek 5200 its made out of carbon.

so i'm gonna build it up to look like this one (above) should be one sweet ride. Typically i'm just a mountain bike guy but i couldn't pass up a free frame, and i kinda need another bike to add to my collection. By the time i'm done i'll have a bike worth 3grand and it will have cost me $800. Gotta love working at a bike shop :)

heres how it works

frame alone sells for $2400
bike build up with shimano ulterga $3600

my price
frame $free
bike custom build with campy daytona (italian bike parts = better bike) and everything else i need with sweet bike computer $1200
orignal estimate of $800 was to low, i forgot how much i wanted better parts. ****ing poser i am, gonna buy this bike and ride a few 100miles a week tsk tsk :D
