It's offical we are in the end of days

I mean come on Ernesto but WTH?

In my youth, as a LBS rat, I lusted after those racks of Colnago frames hanging from the rafters. Like a collection of colorful Christmas tree decorations. Just out of reach physically and financially. The ESAMexico was a particular thing for me back then.

30 K$ for a replica TdF bike…? Damn… that’s another youthful joy spiked…

What next, Bianchi selling bikes that are not Celeste? Campagnolo making fishing gear?

Wow that is pretty grotesque. But I don’t blame him for doing this if people are going to buy them!

However, is Pogacar’s actual bike even worth that? There’s nothing that special about a replica to me

Quite a few of these are going to end up hanging on walls in the UAE.

Unfortunately, there is no dura-ace version, but with the ultegra you do get a hagane gear and aero wrap oscillation.

Like 232 of them. lol
Will anyone really pay that for that bike?

They already do them in black :slight_smile:

There are more than 232 dentists in the world… So yes they will sell out quick…

I’m already trolling dental forums looking for the second hand SL7’s!

I think you mean trawling.

Although maybe you are trolling them as well. :grinning:

I agree. If this seems grotesque, let’s direct our anger at the staggering, absurd inequality we have allowed to run away from us over the last few decades

No we won’t.

Insanity. Another grotesque example is the “Founders Edition” of the new Aethos frame being $5K more expensive than the already overpriced S-Works model. Founders? Frame has ZERO history. WTH? Marketing to the ego of humans is a thing.
