Nice details like cables, but really only added some braze ons, a dual drive hub and a few available upgrades that dont make much difference re weight ,handling,riding postion in total. Better brakes yes, More speeds yes. Price is steep as a steven barry besoke could be ordered for this.
I will keep my upgraded Mezzo!!
I would like to see the carbon 7 kg (Supra) Mezzo. Or a Brompton like little pixels. That might tempt me

I assume it has anti-gravity discs for that kind of money.

$3k does not seem excessive to me, once you add up all the bits. That bike has very high quality stuff fitted, the best of the best, and if you were interested in a custom MTB or roadie with that quality stuff, you'd be looking at that sort of money and more. Look past the small wheel syndrome.
That said, even if it were true, he would still have a job selling at that price. If "experts" like us are thinking $3k is too much, then I have no hope for him.
(And as for the Ultimate Folding Bike, it can't be ultimate if pricing is stratospheric - that would yank it right out of any ultimate category.)

Take your point.
I would want in excess of £1000 for my black Mezzo if I had to sell it. Would I get it , well it depended how much someone else wanted it. I made a profit on a couple of upgraded bike I have sold. Space genie, Giatex and downtube with bullbars +ultergra bits. So I guess I does happen that premium pricers are reached, as some people are prepared to pay for someone else to have the hassle.
