Ai tog.  Time to start saving up.....

[AlanD]

Very nice but Wow..195k...you could buy a new car for that.

[Long Wheel Base]

10 models. 6 of them 100k and over. Guess I wont be riding one. They do sound lekker though.

[FCH]

Bliksem, 70 is the 35; 200 000 the new 125 000.

XC - where 69.5 degrees is slack. Eish. I have just ordered the R195k one. My wife said thats fine, a second bond in these trying times is the way to finance that, bugger the new car. :-)

They are objects of beauty, but those price tags are eye-watering!

Couple of bikes there that cost more than my first house...

[Bizkit031]

What are they smoking that price does not make that bike so good that any other bike for a lot less cant do.Not a big fan of a lefty either.

I recon if we wait 6 months after these are available someone on this hub will have bought one, realise he can't afford it or decide to upgrade again and will be selling these for a bit less than the new price. Although it'll still be over R100k which is just insane for a bicycle

[YUMEYA]

my luck, spend 200k on a bike and the industry comes out with a new wheel size. 

[YUMEYA]

If I had 200k that is..... sucks being poor.

[Suidwes Boytjie]

Well, hopefully there is a couple of guys out there with moola to upgrade to these new babies and then i will ma browse the classifieds for hopefully a good deal on previous models...  

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Nope. Far rather have a Thunderbolt, thanks 

[Skylark]

Finally a bike that'll go with my Rolex, what a relief. Wonder if they have any options on 24k gold plated hardware?
