Letum911 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Is this for a HT or a Duel sus? Does it include the shock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 RobF73, Skott5, Sepia and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heel Drop Posted August 16, 2017 Share hardtail - just the frame - some road bikes a frameset with a carbon rigid fork Edited August 16, 2017 by Heel Drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 IH8MUD and the nerd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie 2 Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 michaelbiker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 2bliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heel Drop Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted August 16, 2017 Share Maybe if it was made from platinum I'd reconsider haha 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 Hackster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted August 16, 2017 Share 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
