And the reason this bike hasn't sold is the price...Duh....

Oh, and please Google "hipster bikes brooklyn" and look at the images. Lot's and lot's of pictures of some very colorful, funny looking bikes, but not one proper C&V road bike.
Oh, you've googled pictures of hipsters and seen a few on a local ride or two...
Excuse me for questioning an EXPERT lol

You're just perpetuating an old, tired stereotype and it's a bit silly.
