I reckon it's really fukn stooopid to spend that much on a road bike.
I was speaking to a guy the other day whose mate bought one of those 'Ferrari' Colnagos for $19,000 AUD!!!!!!
I mean, even if the frame-set was about $7,000 and the wheels were $4,000, where to hell does the other $8,000 go???? On the bars, stem, seat and group-set?? It's crazy!!
