I don't think that's a Plasma, Scott M. told me they weren't ready for the SD boys in time for the Vuelta. I believe that's the old TT frame.
I'm opening in a few weeks in an area with great demographics, some of the best in the country. There were a lot of choices to make as far as brands were concerned, but I chose Giant, Cannondale, and Scott as my main three (and have other, smaller builders, too). I'll move into Tri slowly, and so had many reasons for choosing these three outside of multi-sport. I'm excited about Scott, and will always have some on the floor, but I'm a little concered with price point. Still, it's an exciting company, and I'm pretty pumped to be selling them. I agree with you, Tom, that people will build the Plasma frames to spec, and have also ordered accordingly.
And, as you noted a while back, price increases will be seen across the board. Some '06 models have been down-spec'd to keep prices down, so I would encourage folks to find '05 stock on some models before they're all gone - you'll get a lower price, and better parts. You can't say you didn't warn everybody! :-)
