Given Guru's current state of bankruptcy, does that draw concern to purchase a Guru bike right now? Does it matter?

If it's used, then it's out of warranty anyways, so no difference. I wouldn't buy a brand new one unless it's heavily discounted. Guru built great bikes, so that shouldn't be a concern.

Considering buying a new 901. With Ultegra Di2, it's listed for $4800.

Well, with Guru's current and unfortunate situation, you will probably get no warranty with the frame. If the price of this bike reflects that, then I think it is a calculated risk that you gotta weigh once you know the asking price.

Did you buy it? I have a feeling I was about to buy this bike about 2 months ago? Is it from a DFW store? I wound up going with a different bike instead so just curious what you did.

You are correct on the location! Good catch. I'm still making my considerations and sleeping on it. I also have eyes on the Felt IA14 and Orbea Ordu OMP. What did you end up getting?

Well I said that I was not going to do it this season, but I cracked. I broke down and bought a new bike. I went out and bought a shiny new Cannondale road bike.
