This is somewhat unusual for me to consider but here it goes. Just wondering what you guys would do if presented with this situation...
Background: I currently own an SW Venge and an SW SL4. I ride primarily in Orange County, but visit family in San Francisco 5 times a year. I usually rent a bike unless we drive up (1 time). Usually fly.
Anyways, always thought about building up a bike and leave her in SF. Have an opportunity to pick up an SW sl4 frame for $1500. Legit frame with verified serial number and no cracks in the carbon that I can see. I already have a spare crankset and wheelset ready to go. Just need drivetrain and cockpit. Don't want to go overboard on this bike so may just go with ultegra or force 22.
Bike rental is usually about $40/day for a decent bike.
Buy or pass? I know it's ultimately up to me, but just thought I hear from your perspective. Thx.
