i like it, worth it if you can afford it IMHO

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.

yeah man, they should have just stayed small and not appeal to people with money and like make way less money and stuff

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..

The arts gotta have their patrons!

I can only hope his automobiles are uniquely painted with the same level of detail.

lol. $10k bike. You need to add those parts + a festka frame and you will be north of 10k.

Agree. The post is not great and probably beg for getting painted along with stem.

cool concept, weak execution

ye can buy stuff w money, but ye cant buy taste

[Gsinill]

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.

The buyer is a billionaire. Whether he buys a 35K bike or a 200k car I am almost certain that it represents way less to his budget/finances compared to what many of us spend on bikes and cars.

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?

[Dead Man]

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.
