Have things gone too far ?

Or are we just getting there?

Check this out. Could this really make sense. Does having a six incher sub 23lb surely defeat the purpose, How on earth could you be confident taking it down the sphinc in Glendalough without fear of it snapping or dropping it on one of the rocks on the miners trail, and at that price. There must be more of those affectionate goobers out there than I thought.

look at the flippin' price..!!!

I dunno, I think that would make the ideal bike for Ballinadaffid, just think of the car park kudos, you wouldn't even have to ride it.

look at the flippin flippity flip price..!!

Seriously

I'm not that long in the sport but seriously does anyone spend that kind of money on a push bike ( one push bike ) not counting some of the bike collectors on here

yes plenty of people do and some people spend far more than that. You want to see what sort of money the triathlon people drop on there race bikes.

I can only imagine how good a biker I would have been if I had bought that as my first bike.

just think of the hoards of women you would be beating off with a large stick if you did

At the risk of getting abuse...... i have to admit that is an uber slick machine. Just donate a few kidneys - carbon exotica is far more important than a kidney will ever be.

it is very slick but I'd be afraid to scratch it

Yeah super slick but for what.You could never race it. Daffys car park as Don says may be about it. Clip one of daffys trail anchors with one of those rims that will be €600 please. Those tyres are so thin that they puncture at the sight of gravel. Still wouldn't mind one in the cabinet though.

it's like having lobster on the menu... nobody's going to buy it but it makes the restaurant look good

I could build one up lighter and cheaper :)

If you were good (super smooth) on a bike and REALLY wanted to win the blast it would be perfect (and had a huge amount more money than sense). Most of the stuff would hold up okay but those rims... The DT folks said they are stronger/tougher than there Alu 4.1 rims, but still... I seen this bike at the London Bike Show - was super sweet.

At that price and they don't even include the DT 190 hubs.... seeshhh.

That bike seems good value in comparrision to this one though:

I can't believe they try to charge that much for a bike. I guess, just because she rides it: http://www2.merida-bikes.com/en_INT/...da-Biking-Team

that merrida is sweet weighs 19lbs
