That does seem a bit much! But $2,250???? I could "fix" up my wife and kids with track bikes for that price!

I dunno, quality frame, quality components. The gold isn't my thing, but a phil hub is a phil hub. I'd bet the bike rides pretty nice. $2250 does seem a little steep, but it wouldn't be the first over priced item to sell on flea-bay.

he should cut that price in half and let people bid for it. the gold coloring is all screwed up anyway...for over $2000 it should be flawless.

Assuming the seller built/assembled this bike... the guy could have easily spent $2500 on the bike and he probably wants 100% return on his investment. The frame alone could be upwards of $1500, plus ~$250 for the paint job, another ~$80 if he anodized the hubs himself (i.e. he didn't buy them that color), plus an expensive saddle, crankset, pedals, hubs, et cetera. It all adds up.

The frame is 350 pounds, with the paint.

Oh; for the price he is selling it at I assumed it was a custom frame (http://www.bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/factory.php).
