The frame is obviously quality.
What are the components on the bike? That is what will justify the $2000 for it.

Ok gals. I have the option to buy a beautiful LiteSpeed 2006 Tachyon. It's on sale from $2999 to $2299. I might- MIGHT!- be able to barter it down to $2100 or maybe $2000.
What do you guys think? It felt so good and FAST!!
