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

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.

Does it have a warp core?

what if it had downtube shifters

Why don't bike manufacturers check with everyone on this forum before they build a bike? If they did, they could avoid making a bike that some people don't like, or one that costs more than some people are willing to pay. Wouldn't it make sense to make a one-of-a-kind bike that everybody likes and can afford?

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?

right?

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.

I like the idea of painted wheels, and it would be nice if you could paint the seatpost, but I'm not sure how that would work.

Leave a black band, I suppose.

[charliedid]

I think that is a cool looking bike and project/concept.

I actually really dig the paint. I like that style for sure. But ya, that price....
