Madness!

Hooow much.. !! ... well at least you can have it built to your exact size.. ? ....oh!! wait a minute... ... Small / medium/ and large .. damm..!! I needed a XL...

rather pretty though

 

[BarneyRubble]

It is pretty, but I can't help but think I could get a custom frame builder to build me something just as pretty, which is a perfect fit, with the same components for about a third of the price.

I don't think there is any doubt that it's a lovely looking bike, but is it worth that amount of money? It is if somebody is willing to pay that price, but that somebody would never be me. Ridiculous price IMO!

"Project" bike that's probably not been made with the intention of selling any, just with the intention of getting some publicity.

And why not?

the welding on the stem is a bit piss poor.

far too €€€€ for what it is, you can buy a car and a cople of decent bikes and still have change left for a good curry and beers.

bonkers!

hmm

They would probably get more if they split it......

Certainly looks good, but IMO it wouldn't win BOTM. And how much? The world's gone bananas!
