At some point though one does need to consider value, regardless of your tax bracket. You can buy some of these top line uber wonder off-shore carbon frames for the MSRP of this Ti Surface or less.
A Ti Honzo is $600 less and has the added complication of sliding drops, though admittedly not as pretty as this Surface's 'Yokel'.
I just noticed the Canadian built steel frames seem to have inflated in pricing a couple hundred bucks this year vs last as well.
