Along the lines of "it cost how much?" I had my bike (Colnago Master) in my classroom yesterday (this was one of the workdays for teachers before kids report back) and a colleague walks in and starts checking out the bike. Wanted to know if the shoes stayed in the pedals after you got off the bike. I told him no, you get to keep shoes on your feet when you're at a stop sign.

My ride is pretty sedate for a 'nago but it still stands out so I knew the inevitable was coming.

"Pretty expensive, huh?"

I just smiled as I really didn't want to get into the "cost" conversation.

"Musta been a couple of hundred bucks."

I just shrugged my shoulders and smiled. It would be nice though if he were right.
