For a $700 frame I'd drop it back down to two dollar signs.

With complete bikes available for $300, shouldn't a $700 frame rate four?

You're comparing apples to oranges.

A $300 complete is in a completely different category than a Gorilla frame build up.

Sure, they'll both get you from point A to B but the quality and materials can't be compared.

Exactly.

But I still don't see your point as to why it should be a four dollar sign frame. To me a four dollar sign frame would be the same steel, full lugs, custom fit, custom paint and or chrome.

$700 seems appropriate for a higher end stock frame. You could spend more...

Are you guys really fighting over about the number of dollar signs that most accurately describes the relative cost of a gorilla frame set? Really? :wtf:


Let me help out and suggest three $s. Everyone cool with that?:lol:

On topic now, nice bike. Does anyone know what the movie is about? Is the track bike incidental or is cycling a bigger part of the movie?

Figured it would be different than arguing about brakes/breaks, foot retention, licensing, cats, helmets, etc.

According to IMDB: A love story set in a city where people are slowly losing their sensory perception.

So he must be riding fixed to be one with the bike and avoid losing his sensory perception. His brake/break will be edited out in post production as to not incite a fixed purist riot.

Or perhaps he's losing his sensory perception and had to add the brake/break.

Yes. Yes we are. I would have suggested three, but I rarely compromise that easily.

dsh 10-28-09 07:47 AM

Judging by the $$$, I'm going to say "no".
