The 2005 /2006 Lucero had a 3K weave finish while the 2007 Lucero has a 12kUD weave. The new 12kUD finish is indeed less expensive, but we also sharpened our pencils based on consumer feedback. Many athletes wanted to build up a Lucero of their dreams with parts of their personal choices, but found the frame set alone too expensive, or found that a complete Caliente/Seduza bike would work financially better for them.
So for 2007 there is now a better price balance for people who want to build up the Lucero "their way."

I was just cruising around the internet and noticed the new 2007 Lucero frameset is *MUCH* cheaper than when the 2005/2006 editions were new to the street. Any reason (maufcturing changes, materials changes, etc ) for the change in price?
Original 2006 - $2698.xx
New 2007 - $1998.xx
