rock Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 That bike here costs 13'376 CHF - R190k excluding shipping and import duties etc http://www.bellatisport.com/shop/shopping/product_details.php?id=2699 Which is about 2 months nett salary for the average person but still disproportionate. You can get a new Yamaha F6 for about 9-10k CHF. How many months salary is R200k for the average south african?
Al Pal Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 All that money for a Pinarello and you don't even get to be on Carte Blanche.
JanJan Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 How many months salary is R200k for the average south african? An entire lifetime's worth of months. Thus the thread title of 'Once in a lifetime deal'.
Long Wheel Base Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Pinarello with Di2? Nee man. Campagnolo out of stock?Even if your not a fan of campy or shimano or pina........ when its a classic italian bike like pina or colnago or bianchi, it just has to have campy on. Its just the way it should be.
gummibear Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I'd rather buy a bike in Italy and spend 3 weeks traveling the Country.

Christie Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 To be fair, compare the price with a top of the range Sworks Venge Vias, Colnago C60, Bianchi Oltre etc. What extras do you get with the others?
jcza Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The benchmark for bicycles is no longer R100k, must be closer to R200k now for high-end bikes. Have a look at new MTBs. Cannondale Black - R 160, SWorks - R180k etc.
banna Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The day that I pay R150k for a bike, can someone please shoot me.
Spez247 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 If you are in the market for a top bike, this is as sweet as it gets.Normally you drop the cash, and the mechanic wheels it out the shop for you.Recon that's the biggest carrot you will get for spending R200k, ever! Last time i bought a much higher ticket item, i got a cap.... #Pissed!
VicanZA Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 this isnt real? who spend 200k on a bike why not just go to italy and rent one?
gummibear Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 In July next year there'll be a huge ASG clearout and you'll get the bikes for R100k
FootballingCyclist Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 If I fly to Italy, Buy an F8 in the colours I want it and put Campy Super Record on it(as it should be) with my own choice of wheels, I'm sure it will be less than 200k?? Nevertheless, Good Luck to those who are fortunate to enter this competition... PS, Be careful of ISIS whilst you're there
T-Bob Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The day that I pay R150k for a bike, can someone please shoot me. I'll do it as long as I get the bike once it's done.
FootballingCyclist Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Mind you, I will be in Stellies the weekend so i'll ask Rastaman and his buddy if they have any in stock
raptor-22 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 How many months salary is R200k for the average south african?Average average or average 5%er?
