Is this bike for real?
I saw this on ebay the other day. Seems like it's a little overpriced but who knows. The suspension sure looks interesting.

I think someone posted this one a couple of weeks ago... looks like no sucker was willing to fork over 3 grand for it then. Maybe they will now.

Mercedes make cars=Not Bikes.
Heart of any bike is its frame- and that is what you need to get a decent ride- Not the gold plated top of the range bits that a big name like Mercedes would like to associate with. If the bike was any good- you would see it out on the trails or road and I doubt as to whether you will see one anywhere.
If you have this sort of money to spend- then there are plenty of top rate manufacturers in the biking world that have a pedigree that is known. Unless you just want to say "I have a Mercedes" or hang it on the wall.

Yep, and the GMC Denali bike is Professional Grade, too.
