Would you pay 40 000 ZAR for a titanium frame ?

[Heel Drop]

how much would you pay for a dream titanium frame ?

[Letum911]

Is this for a HT or a Duel sus? Does it include the shock?

[BaGearA]

I wouldn't pay that for A dual frame with A shock 

 

 

for me ( even if money was no problem) 25k would be the limit for dual with shock 30k if its A very good shock ( DPS factory) 

 

17k roof for hardtail 

 

 

We have to get rational at some point 

[Heel Drop]

hardtail - just the frame - some road bikes a frameset with a carbon rigid fork

[lechatnoir]

There are so many factors to be unpacked here, that a Y/N binary poll is meaningless.

 

When you see 'that' frame (you know what I'm talking about), all sense goes out the window. As does your credit...

 

I think you need a third option - "It depends", then provide an open-ended option for comments. Then best of luck analysing that

[Sharkie 2]

Depends on what you attach value in life too

 

For many this is a lot of money for many not...and this is whether they have money or not as well

[Grease_Monkey]

That's just getting to the point of flushing your money down the toilet if you ask me. If you look at my budget my bike is by far the recreational thing I spend the most money on - but even if I had the money to drop on a ti frame - 40k is just waaay too much.... Maybe if it was made from platinum I'd reconsider haha

[Heel Drop]

I looked at a few frames - hardtail - MTB and Gravel/Road type frames 

Many different variations specs etc and the average price point is around 40k for a GOOD frame 

I imported a complete TI cycle with parts and completely happy with the purchase 

I agree it may well be a very niche group that will purchase it and its a real shame that we miss out 

Some real nice bikes out there in this segment

Considering that Pt has a 10% HIGHER specific gravity than even gold, you've better hope that it comes with a carbon fork and wheels. You know, to keep the weight down.

 

Will make a lovely descender though. But being quite malleable, you'll probably crash at the first corner at too-high-a-speed with inadequate brakes. I'm thinking it'll be quite sore

Who is this soul that voted yes ?

[BaGearA]

The Stage frame mos costs 60K right ?

 

And people buy those things , so you'll definitely have A market although much smaller cause few people appreciate real bikes ( steel and Ti ) 

 

But it will be like buying A Veyron while having an F1( The Mclaren for you muggles) in the garage 

 

New one will be bright and shiney but old faithful can still get the job done ( if that makes sense ? )

[Heel Drop]

no person that vote for will be exposed - all voting is fully confidential   - we want the truth 

we wont pull AN C or D

[BaGearA]

Wouldn't pay 40k for any of these frames , beautiful bikes and frames to look at and all but at some point you're starting throw away your money
