rouxtjie Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 To illustrate how cyclists get reamed every day: Cost R75,995 Cost R75,995 Now you tell me, which has more R & D? More tech? More expensive to manufacture? It's a joke!Now that you put it like that....eish.
IH8MUD Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I think the problem with the bike prices is the cyclists (some of us). There are people who will pay those crazy prices. If nobody buys a bike over 20-30k, then they have no reason to make the bikes so expensive and the prices will drop. This is only my theory. Yes in theory. But it usually goes like this . . . . BUT for 35K your get this better components .. . . they last longer and it's an ivestment.AND for 40K you get this componets . . . AND the better Carbon . . . . . lighter & stronger . .AND then this wheel . . . . man . . you be fast . . . JUST 5-10K . . . It's in Investment . .. you only by this bike once . NEW technology!. . . Its where everyone is going . .It's the 2016 model . . And soon you're at 60K . . . . We are all victims/suckers for this.

But if all of us just keep our current bikes and don't upgrade every year, they won't sell so many bikes and that would probably help the problem a bit. Rather upgrade your parts (I know upgrading parts is more expensive than buying a new bike).
Ispeed_V Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Comparative - Aston specs as per pic = R450 000k Decent top end bike build = +/- R80 000 - Frame R35 000 (Fondriest TF1 1.4)- Wheels R16 000 (Zipp CL60)- Groupo R22 000 (Ultegra DI2 11 speed)- Sundries R7 000

Holy cow you get a bike like twice a year,lucky if some of us see 1 bike in like 3 to 5 years Spokey, IH8MUD and Seeker911 3
Seeker911 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Holy cow you get a bike like twice a year,lucky if some of us see 1 bike in like 3 to 5 years Spot on. Roadie = 6yrs old, TT = 5 yrs old, MTB = 3 yrs old. No chance this year or next on getting a new bike. Perhaps a part upgrade here or there. I am getting a TT frame repaint though very soon R2k but that's it folks
Super Sywurm Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Holy cow you get a bike like twice a year,lucky if some of us see 1 bike in like 3 to 5 years In my defense, i ride cheap bikes and it's usually second hand. Bizkit031 and Hairy 2
Boerklong Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Mmm thought about selling my scott scale comp... might just upgrade the parts and trade in my yz250 on a newer model...yup I'll do just that...
Bizkit031 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 In my defense, i ride cheap bikes and it's usually second hand. I have slowly been upgrading my parts,biggest expenses so far wheels and dropper post.
