I saw the second one yesterday. My favorite line from that is "It changed the way you road a bike." It is a cool bike, but not $5000 cool.

that last one is the only one i could see anyone shelling out for...and it's probably "worth" that much based on the parts and how much time went into making it. (not that it was totally worth it)

i mean, if you want a kickass 5000 "rode" bike, you might as well get a new cervelo which looks damn sexier than that...er, custom. whatever it is. did they mention the frame at all?

$3k for copper plating actually isn't too far off from where the price of it is going.

It actually is...Copper plating is such an easy process one will be able to do it at home with some ingenuity...I actually e-mailed him and he is living the dream claiming he spent $1500 in parts alone and 6 months of his life on this project...

Maybe I should wait for NTLBM, but I can't resist:

We rode those during Urban Assault, I hardly think they'd be more than like 100 bucks...maybe he meant $38.00 and forgot the decimal ;o)
