11,000 lbs which I think is about five metric tons.
You must mean this bike.

Cheap compared to a Moulton...
That is true of me too and many of the people who will buy it will probably get overtaken by grannies on 3 speed Raleighs.
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.
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?
There are few rich right-wing managers who still oppress workers, yes. And given the number of people who are looking to spend some of their pension money on second homes, in Spain or elsewhere, yes there are also people with decent pensions.Sorry I couldn't reply earlier but currently out in Spain looking for a house to buy.
Do people like you describe really exist?

The data's a bit out of date, but a couple of years ago the average price paid for a new car was £29,000. Someone is buying those cars - and anyone who can afford to buy a £29,000 new car can choose to afford an £11,000 bike and an £18,000 second-hand car instead.

That's an inevitable consequence of anyone who paid more than you did for your bike necessarily having "all the gear and no idea."My favourite is the one about the people buying these bikes being overtaken by grannies on 3-speed shoppers.
