Re: Funk Pro Comp
I bought it in 1987 and DO have the receipt, but man it will be difficult to find, I will try.
I had owned it for some time before the MBA review came out which was in 1990.
It was bought as a frameset only and for quite a few years that was the only way they were sold (how do you come up with a total price on it ?).
The Merlin Ti handlebars themselves were $150 US, the Mavic bottom bracket was about the same as was the IRD seatpost.
Did you mean this picture ???
You should have done some reading when you were at the website....
And I even posted a email directly from Daryl earlier in the thread that he verifies it was one of the very first ones....
If you'll send me your email I will forward the original email to you.

A couple of things really don't make sense here:
1.) As a matter of fact I CANNOT BE A 1988 MODEL nor is it possible that it was bought in 1987...
the only thing possible in 1987 in relation to FUNK bikes was that it was "dreamed" back then-
To sum it up:
2.)Funk Cycles was established in 1989, hence it's not a 1988 model, and well it was not possible to buy a FUNK bike until
1989 at the earliest...
3.)Also the bike Daryl holds in the picture has different parts than the bike which is advertised-
4.)About the price: "Why do you have 4k = 4'000.00$ in the bike???
The total bike cost less than 2'750.00$ back then in the US....
Is there something valuable inside the tubes??
I think here @ retrobike it's important to base claims on facts not fiction.
Hope I could clarify a little bit.

History of Funk Cycles
Funk Cycles was founded by Daryl Funk in 1988. Designing and improving bikes has been a lifelong obsession for Daryl, but what has always set him apart from the crowd is his ethos of questioning and re-thinking the status-quo. Since its inception, Funk Cycles has espoused this passion for trying to make bikes perform better, creating hand-built, innovative, and insightful designs that stand apart from the crowd.
