I never get that line.
If I had that sort of spare money, I wouldn't spend it on a bike as it would be wasted on me.
If I had a spare £11,000 in my pocket to spend on my cycling I'd buy and refurbish a nice old steel touring bike, kit out with good panniers, etc and spend the money I saved on the cycling holiday of a lifetime
Indeed, I think the same could probably be said for 99% of people who'd be buying an 11k bike for themselvesIf I had that sort of spare money, I wouldn't spend it on a bike as it would be wasted on me.

That doesn't make sense? I'd you're buying a £11k bike you've already decided you have spent the money.Indeed, I think the same could probably be said for 99% of people who'd be buying an 11k bike for themselves
It's the Observer. And the answer to your question is "people who'd like to have, or do have, £11,000 to spend on a bike." Which includes some affluent left wing pensioners with decent pensions as well as some rich right wing managers who are oppressing the workers.The Guardian needs to get real, who is it trying to appeal to?

We rarely quibble when someone spends £20,000 on a brand-new car when a perfectly good second hand model can be had for £9,000. So why worry about the bike?
11,000 lbs which I think is about five metric tons.Shame he didn't weigh it, although I suppose it will be between seven and eight kgs.
