That's quite the price all right.
I saw a carbon Gios all decked out with the latest and greatest and they were selling it at a "discount" to the custom order customer for over $13,000 CDN. They knocked $2000 off. That's the most expensive bike I ever saw.

For that price you would think it would at least come with CF bottle cages.

The seller meant to have the buy it now price of $850 and the opening bid price of $875.
There was a post about a old Lightspeed bike on ebay that the guy wanted $12,000. It was pretty funny the ideas that were given about the high price such as the frame was filled with drugs.
