The RTD-90 is the ultimate disc-specific road sports frameset. As used by Team Carnac and Zappi's Pro Cycling racing teams during the 2015 season. The RTD-90 is super lightweight and brutally strong. Now you can race to win.
Just the wheels are £1300+ on various online shops.
The shipping costs is £15 with Yodel or around £40 with DHL
I bought it yesterday morning and the expected delivery is around 5/6 days.
EDIT:
The code UKCB100 doesn't work

There's a lot more to cycling than just shaving seconds off a time, while I'd agree extra costs on road bikes quickly hit diminishing returns £1000 doesn't get anything that fancy - I paid £1250 for mine and it's still aluminium and a middling mechanical groupset. I didn't buy the bike for its speed either as if anything it's probably slightly slower than my last cheaper road bike but the new one has hydraulic brakes, rack mounts, more tyre clearance and internal cable routing making it more versatile and far better in wet weather conditions. Plus it's just a lot more pleasant to ride as the minimal and consistent force the brake levers need make riding on the hoods a lot easier and when riding for six to seven hours at a time, I'd far rather a bike I enjoy riding rather than a cheap, purely functional bike.
To claim that only 0.01% of cyclists who race will gain advantages on a £1,000 bike is simply uninformed rubbish.

I've voted hot even though you could buy a really rubbish car for that ;-)
Still this is a good price for the spec of this price. Heated.

As you say, the wheels alone are a big chunk of that price.

Buy the bike, flog the wheels for a grand +...put a pair of £50 wheels on there and you're laughing....plus you'll probably not go much slower, if at all.

Thats what I was thinking, that spec has to be a mistake?
I think that price has the fulcrum racing sport wheels as standard, or at least it is meant to!

Great buy, wheels make the package. Not like Planet X to put Rival on something so race focused, normally force or ultegra. Bit heavy at 9kg for a race machine.... But the wheels are ace..... Good find!

Some of the extra weight is going to be down to the disc breaks.
Not that I am about to buy this, but what is the tyre clearance on the RTD-90/RT-90?

Don't think you'd be putting mudguards on this one. Race blades would fit if that's what you want to know for, this is a race machine or super fast commuter...
