You could either have that bike, or a fully loaded brand new Honda Accord.

That's crazy, can't believe people would spend 32k on that...

At least Chamo's Cervelo has a useful purpose and that cost a fraction of it.

Are those your only choices? I mean, those who can pay $32,000 for a bicycle might not have to make such a sacrifice.

Also, Chamo's Cervelo is retardedly expensive in most eyes, as well.

At least the money put into Chamo's Cevelo serves the purpose of being a race bike. I don't know what this is supposed to be. And his Cervelo is retardedly expensive.

This is just supposed to be exclusive art, I suppose. People pay crazy money for collectable pieces, too.

The problem with this bike is the price is an inflation based on what the guy who made it thinks its worth... in reality... what you have there is no more than 2-3k in parts assuming a one off body....

Its like the specialized vengeance + mclaren bike that goes for 18k... if mclaren had helped with wind tunnel design I would have understood.... but all they did was help with the paint scheme....

Btw... 4k for a bike is really not that much... its more like the middle ground.... 7-8k and you are at the high end of..."HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY???"

Evo get me a job at ze german place.

yeah.. so does a huyndai genesis... but Ferrari's are still the preferred choice for GT racing.

$300 bikes are more than ok... for cruising around and some mountain biking...$300 bikes do not cut it when road riding with a group.

Yes, I know coop, It was a joke because you were casually throwing around several grand on bikes like its the norm. Which, for a road racing team, yeah thats normal.. but to most I think 4-8k on a bike will be like.. woa, i can buy a motorcycle for that.

You know, I used to think the same ****...

When I bought my bike, I payed close to 2k for it, and I thought that was insane.. but it was what carbon costs.. now that I have been at it for 3 or so years.. I have noticed that in the road bike community... a 4k bike is the norm.

By 4k I do mean the entire thing.. rims, etc...

or maybe Weston is just full of people with to damn much money, and they should give me a new bike.

I dropped a grand on mine and its woefully inadequate compared to many I see nowadays.
