Hi - we need to compare like with like right?
DA 35 tubulars lowest street price I can see from a quick search here in the UK is £1300.
Bora One 35 tubulars ... £1040
So you could buy the Boras and then 5 or 6 high end tubular tyres also for the same money
This does vary by market, so it may be different where you are.
There is a bit of difference in spec too, the main points being that the Boras are 150g ish lighter and have a 24.1mm wide rim versus a 20.8mm rim for the C35s. Shimanos, have 16F spokes vs 18 for the Boras FWIW
I don't think you can reasonably compare the clinchers in the way you have ... carbon clinchers are always much more expensive than alloy rimmed clinchers. Still, lots of folk seem to think it's worth it ...
