Don't own and never would. That's not to say that if you owned one I'd diss you for it. Why do you care what someone drives/rides are you that insecure that if anyone buys something that is expensive it makes you lash out at them? God just ride what you got and be a happy who give a rats a@# what someone is wearing or riding or driving. If it makes them happy then good for them.

Yes I'd pay a ton for that bike if I could afford it. I guess that makes me a poser in your eyes. To me it's like buying fine art, something I think the bicycle is. Gears or no I love bikes!


I posted this on the road forum in response to the fixed v geared thread:

Define climb. If you mean a 7% grade for 1/4 of mile I'll buy that but if you get onto a mountain you'd have to be a hell of rider to pull a 46x16 up 3k of elevation change. I'd love to see that on say the the back side of Angeles Crest (ave grade 9% max 15% total length 13.5 mi) in So Cal or up Fernwood off of Topanga Canyon (ave 11% max 17% 7 mi). You would have to be a hell of rider to pull this off faster than a good rider on a geared bike.
