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

if you don't care about new "old stock", here's one.. https://www.bikesdirect
Yes, its almost 2K... but full CF and Ultegra. I'd be all over it if I didnt have my RT right now..
This bike feels light and fast and the latest generation of Shimano 105 shifters are great, a big improvement over the previous generation. In a way this bike is a throwback to 10-15 years ago, before carbon fiber and disc brakes became popular. This would have been a high end bike back then. The only thing I didn't like about it was the saddle. I found it hard and uncomfortable and replaced it with a different one.
I got the 54. I weighed it when I first got it before installing accessories: 19.5 pounds with pedals.

But I'm mostly a commuter (with occasional track days) so I guess I'm usually either braking from low-ish speeds or, at the track, hardly braking at all.
For most people that are just going to ride around in fair weather and not upgrade the wheels, rim brakes are fine and 105 is a great groupset.
