...nice ride, but I have to ask, given the high price of a high quality JB finish, wouldn't it have been cheaper (and wiser) to simply buy a new Tarmac Pro in BoB colorway, with full warranty...assuming the new Tarmac Pro is the equivalent of the older SL4 model?

Frame set was $250 , fork $89 , JB paint $700 .. Total $1039. The lowest I've seen them are around $1600 to $2000 used.

Wow! ...I had no idea. Given the high quality of JB paint jobs I have seen, I just assumed a basic frame and fork respray was upwards of $1200. Thanks for sharing.
