If I had 7k then I would buy it.

well i agree if i had lots of money i would go for the best lightest bike i could find
but dont think thats too likely in the near or - d i s t a n t future.

 

[DiddlyDodds]

I would like lots of Race biles ,. sadly they would cripple my back , so will leave them to the bendy people

 

[rebelpeter]

I ride a Trek 1.2 as my best bike anyone familiar with this model i also own a few vintage type bikes an immaculate Raleigh Router an old Elswick i use for wet winter days, i have a Raleigh rapide excellent condition and a BSA Tour Of Britain good condition and a Philips, does anyone else have older bikes they enjoy riding at all.

This is so surprising but can these bikes really be worth 10,000
and do bikers pay this sort of money....

Bikes of 10k and above have the latest tour specification components, and competition proven framsets. Some people with expendable incomes are quite happy paying this kind of money. Its no more sensible or worth it than a 160mph Ferrari in central London but they exist because there is a market for them from the people who want them simply because they can. Not everything needs to make sense

You're going to hate me Pete',but if i was going to spend 7 grand on a bike i'd spend it on one that looked like it cost 7 grand, and not a few hundred quid!

Yes i do understand what you mean and i guess its all about spec and i guess they sell
To the right people i would want the lightest best bike if i had the money why not as my ole
Dad used to say " you dont have any money till you spend and enjoy some of it"

So does this mean the ones in the tour de france etc cost over 10,000 each i guess so.

Thanks for the reply. . .

But i like it, i like the simple understated looks, and i dont need a million blingy stickers.

I really would not want a bike that screamed look how much i cost.

I know most would go the other way, its just the way i am.

Fair enough! I'm sure it is a very decent bike,it should be for that price.

Unlimited budget? Anything costing more than £1500 would make me look even more of a tit. ( Some would set the price bar considerably lower). I would spend the rest of the vast pool of moolah on a good flight case for the bike, some hotel bookings, and some plane tickets.
