Falco Posted July 29, 2011 Share I think this is a great idea, hope it works out for the supplier,BUT:why so many Pinarello auctions? Frames during TdF, now this one. Two possible reasons I can think of ~ they are overpriced and not selling well, or they are worth the money but cash is not the cyclists friend right now.Which one is it, or is there something I am missing?

Pusher Posted July 29, 2011 Share Overpriced and times are tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted July 29, 2011 Share Or maybe they are willing to take a knock in the name of marketing. Personally I think any complete bike over R20 000 is over price never mind a frame over R40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithc Posted July 29, 2011 Share This concept must be p...ing off the other ditributors that are bettling to sell stock bought from ASG?! Great for a potential buyer though!! I look forward to things hotting up in a few hours time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted July 29, 2011 Share Overpriced and heavy and and and. Â Seriously 100k + for a bike. :lol: :lol:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falco Posted July 29, 2011 Share Seriously 100k + for a bike. :lol: :lol:.Must admit I feel the same way, that is a hell of a lot of money for a bike (any bike). Makes me wonder, apart from the bling factor, what's the difference. As a test, I wonder if a pro did an average race, say the 94.7, on a Dogma, or on a basic spec Raleigh, what would the time difference be? Any ideas?

Let's Ride Posted July 29, 2011 Share Yip but I'll keep my Roubaix which looks good and cost much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted July 29, 2011 Share Sure compared too a low spec bike its way better but compared to a scott that's light or a specialized or giant it ain't nearly 80k + better. EDIT: If it's even better.

MTB_Roadie Posted July 29, 2011 Share its easy....compare a SA made Renault Sandero to a Italian Ferrari, that is why there is a different price tag....both cars can drive....but the one is just a Renault...where with the Ferrari you will always go wow...

Shebeen Posted July 29, 2011 Share it's down to R59k. i have a ballpark idea on the markups on these bikes and there's a hit being taken! now, how hard is it to hack the hub?take it down for the afternoon and then bring it back and win the auction for R1k at 5pm?
