Actually the Ultegra build looks like the better deal at this point. It's $2137 after 40% off and the total comes out to $1880 after using AJ 12% CB. Just the wheelset - Knight Carbon Clincher TLA...

Active Junkie is like urlhasbeenblocked, but currently has the most CB for Moosejaw at 12%. Either way a great deal.
Speaking of which, Viathon upped the discount to 40% off for the 2019s, which makes the...

Also note that...

Everyone's dumping on the 105, but it's an excellent drivetrain. I doubt anyone would notice much difference compared to Ultegra.

That bike is laughably incomparable. That Motobecane has a crap wheelset and crap parts everywhere other than the Ultegra build kit. The Viathon is full carbon, the Motobecane has an alloy fork. The...

Taiwan makes much better quality products than the rest of China. I wouldn't trust a frame made on the mainland, but I have had good experiences w/ frames made in Taiwan.
