the website does not work for me in chrome, but it does work for me in microsoft edge.

bike appears to be available in the following sizes:

48cm
51cm
54cm
56cm
58cm

also, bike seems to have a $79 "oversize handling fee" which, also covers the shipping.

tax for me would be $82.73, which means the total cost (for me) is $1,461.55, in case that saves anyone time.

$1300 looks to be the price just about everywhere for this right now.

Keep in mind this is a race bike. It's got a tight, twitchy geometry. It's not built for comfort over many meandering hours in the saddle.

Also, if you're going to race this in a crit, for example, rim brakes are preferred due to weight savings. It's not like they don't work, it's a tried and true technology. Disc just tend to work a bit better, especially in wet conditions.
·
I was going to come in before the "this isn't an e-bike?" crowd and say this is a good deal. But buying a rim brake-equipped bike in 2023 makes little sense.

Anyone shopping this would be better served in the used market. If you're buying new, buy a bike with HYDRAULIC disc brakes.

1500 for rim brakes? Better off getting a Polygon S5 with hydraulic disc brakes when they go for $1200

Polygon road bikes are solid. I own the S8 and it's the best bang for the buck carbon road bike under $2.5k.
S5 is probably the cheapest road bike you can find with full 105 groupset.
