So is it like your TT where most of the cost is in the upgrades, or is the frame something special, too?

And just to clarify on the "creeper" stuff... exercise room was on the tour of the house, and by playing with it all I did was point out to my non-cycling friend how cool the electronic shifting is. Geez, there's a sandstorm in a lot of cooches tonight.

My friend's dad is their estate manager, and we were hanging out with my friend's wife. My friend himself was working as a photog at the cotton bowl.

I found their exercise room, and got to play around with the owner's super expensive bike on a trainer. It was a Merckx, full DA Di2, Quarq power meter, reynolds tubeless wheels. Looks like it had all of 30 miles on the bike. Must be nice to be rich. I figure since it had at least $5k in upgrades on it, it must have been at least a $10k bike. What's y'all's estimate?
uh huh
