For that kind of money, you'd expect to get the entire saddle, and not just part of it!

I liked Feska back a few years ago. But now they are just a marketing company that happens to sell bikes. Sex sells. Don't get me wrong I can appreciate the time and skill that went into that paint job though, that's some detail.

no different than art work, it is worth what someone is whiling to pay for. This is a very pretty bike, reminds me of portuguese tile

Personally, if I was going with an ornate paint scheme, I'd go with Scarab. Save a buttload of money and feel good about your purchase. Of course, it's steel, not carbon. But that just means it lasts longer

Nah. Hogs get bailouts. The workers get slaughtered.

I'm with you on this - just wish they'd chosen a different seatpost, painted the wheels, and put some Campy on there..

For $35K they should turn it into an NFT.

to pile it on, I like the paint and I am sure its a great bike, but that price is stupid. I am rooted in pragmatism, and in the same way I would never buy a $200,000 car, I would also never buy a $35,000 bike.

What's a scarier number? 1,000 000 000 + / 200 000 or 100 000 / 35 000 (I am being very generous with a 100 000 income here ) In other words, who is crazier? Billionaire buying a 200K Porsche or whatever or Average Joe making 80k a year and buying a 30K accord? Last edited by vav; 05-27-2021 at 12:54 PM. |

i suspect being a billionaire is a totally different existential experience than being a thousandaire.. a billionaire cold drop $35k on the sidewalk stumbling outta the club at 3am and never even miss it
so would i ever - or *never* - buy a $35k bike? i mean, yea i probably would, if i liked it. if i was a billionaire. but im not, and certainly never will be.. so kinda irrelevant to me. i wouldnt buy THIS $35k bike, but when thousands are as pennies, id probably some other stupid $35k bike. |
