Seriously! Was that $1800 for a complete bike, or just the frame/fork? Doesn't matter, it's still a deal. Heck, if it was $1800 for the yellow logo decal on a cardboard toilet paper tube it would still be a deal.

I would be all over the Sachs for $1,800

+1 on the $1,800 Sachs.

Richard Sachs has always had a good reputation for making quality bikes. He was/is also a great supporter of racers and racing. He is quite the philanthropist in that area and should be supported.

None of the above. I built my own. Time for a repaint though.

And how does everyone justify those wacky frameset prices !?!?!

Just wait a while. BD will buy the Sachs name when Richard retires so you can have the best of both worlds.

And yes, I know this thread is a joke.

It's all relative.
