So you fell into $10,000... but there is a catch...
... you have to buy a bicycle...
what frame and gruppo would you get? no plans for retirement or charity... you HAVE TO BUY A BIKE... OK game on!!! *** me, Waterford 22 made from 953 + Campy leads the list of contendors... you? |
I don't have 10,000 to spend on a bike, so no sense thinking about what I would buy if I did.
|
It would not be enough for what I want. So I'll stick with what I have.
|
|
I'd probably by three bikes and a plenty of wheels.
|
I'd buy 2 bikes. A madone and co-motion pangea co-pilot.
And my preference for the Trek is mainly because my LBS sells them and I love my LBS. |
Not so much on the specifics, but I can tell you that it involves the words "carbon," "Di2," and "Zipp."
|
Mongoose Paver and a Denali.

The best Pinarello that $10K will buy.
|
Im good on bikes so buy bike, sell bike, go on vacation as I have not had one in many years.
|
Colnago Extreme Power non-sloping
Super Record 11 Lightweight wheelset by Carbonsports Hrm... I think the MSRP for these may be over $10,000 |

go somewhere close to the Equator then.. |
The individuals who intend to buy more than one bike have the right idea. A cornucopia of wheelsets would be nice too.
|
Man, 10k doesn't buy you as much as you'd expect it to :).

Custom MOOTS with S&S and suitcase
Di2 extra wheels |
Indie Fab x 2
|
Test ride a ton of bikes then choose the best one for me. Deck it out with Full SRAM Red + SRM. three sets of wheels (one carbon clincher 46-55mm for general training, two sets of tubulars, one deep, one super light for climbing) And 5-7 new kits to ride in.
Oh if only I hadn't just lost my job. |
|
Down payment on a Giant Trinity Advanced SL 0?
http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-us....0/3887/37070/ Almost full Di2 (Giant Brakes) Zipp 1080/880 combo |
CAAD 9, some wheels, a new light so I can ride at night, some new shorts and cold weather gear.
|
Buy a bike for $10,000..sell it for $5,000, buy a 4 bedroom house in Las Vegas.
|
|
Since I have an '09 CAAD9 setup essentially for racing (which I have yet to do :)) I would get:
- A set of Zipp 404s with PT ($3,000 psimet?) - A '10 Synapse Carbon 3 exactly as configured ($3,000) for a more comfort ride: http://video.cannondale.com/images/1...0RCS3T_red.jpg - A '10 Slice 5 for TTs, the Zipps might find their way on this bike too :) ($2100): http://video.cannondale.com/images/1.../0RM5D_blk.jpg Which should then leave me enough for a 705 and mounts for each bike and some new bibs and jerseys. Stick a fork in me... :D |

I would have a tough time going past this. Except, I'd probably trade out the Campy for some Red.

I'm already eye-deep in a harem of my dreambikes (my living room's full of them), so I'd probably blow it on this belt-driven, 64mpg beauty:
http://z.about.com/d/motorcycles/1/0...ear_Rt_3-4.jpg [Edit: I change my vote. I'd get two SRM powermeters for my bikes and spend the rest getting my junk knocked around by hookers.) |
Yeah, def buy a few used frame sets/complete bikes: A Ti, a TT, a cinelli or colnago steel, and Canyon or BH for racing. Then probably a wheelset or two with PT.
|
Indie Fab (probably SSR) or a Specialized Tarmac. I would use whatever is left to get some Zipps, come on 404's!
