insane...i don't know if the reporter skimped out on details, but so far the cost has not been justified.

and i don't know if it ever will be justified.

I could pay a nutritionist and a personal trainer for a couple years and lose weight, get faster and maybe even place well in a cat 4 race plus get a custom ti frame built up with da for that kinda dough. besides, i wouldn't be too worried about dinging a bicycle that costs twice a new car.

i wonder if anyone will buy one at that price, who would and why.

It is a little expensive. but you probably won't see another one on your group ride.

I still think it's ugly, check out those hoods and disk brakes

I would rather have one of these very rare but cheaper:

It aint about the bike, it's about having enough cash to buy one. It's no different to rich chick handbags!!
