Back in '99, a friend and I tried to build an expensive bike. It was a Litespeed Liege with a Reynolds Ouzo fork, Ti stem & seatpost, Speedplay Ti pedals, Dura Ace, Lew custom wheels, and an SRM crankset. If you added up the retail prices, it was close to $10,000. I still ride it today.

I wish I remembered the name of the wheels, but I remember seeing a site advertising $3k for a wheelset. ATA or something I think.

exotic components all are generally available today.

If I spent that much on a bike, I'd be in divorce court and out on the street to boot. But heck! I'd have my $10,000 bike. :eek: |

Yes, the megabuck wheels are called ADA's, and are Dutch made. They have carbon rims, spokes, and hub shells and ultra-low-drag ceramic sealed bearings. I met the wholesaler once on a ride, he lives on Bainbridge Island so there may be a few pair floating (and I do mean floating, the pair felt lighter than my front Mavic Helium) around the Seattle area.
