I went into a local cycle shop today and was admiring some gorgeous machines when the owner took me through the workshop and upstairs to see a bike that had just been finished for a client. It was the most wonderful carbon confection, and weighed under 10 pounds. The frame set was about £8K, the wheels £4.5K - even the stem was £600! Total cost was £17.5K. Everything was so beautifully made, and it really ought to have been hung on a wall in the National Gallery. I could have looked at it for hours, and I really envy the owner of this superb piece of art.
