It's a nice bike, but not THAT nice. H*ll, you can get a standard sized (S/M/L/XL) Tiemeyer for $1,335 and pick the color you want. $1585 for CUSTOM geometry. That includes a $600 MSRP Edge fork and a $100 King headset. Anybody paying over $1,000 for a used 20 year old frame and fork is nuts.
As stupid as it is... that's how much they go for... check some ebay completed listings... I've been trying to buy one and over the past few months I've seen a few go for near or around that price man, believe it or not. I don't think the frames should cost that much, but people are willing to pay it, so that's how much they're worth.
"They are paying for the name and the "status"."
And that too.
