I think such a purchase can be justified for the hardcore enthusiasts that consistently put more miles on their bikes, than I do my car.
DaiseyFiorilli62
Yeah that's how I buy my bikes, our LBS has a sale for previous year bike model and usually you can save 40 to 50% but the lines are long.
escalinci
It's astonishing how where cycling became less of an everyday transport thing, the market shifted to wring more from the customers left.
GonadTheBeerBellyan
I pulled two bikes from the dumpster
escalinci
Bicycles are probably one of the most under-used economic resources in the world.
nj23dublin
You save so much on gas
DasOgre
These bikes are for competition. When you make millions racing, why not drop money on a bike that will drastically cut time?
TOOFATTOWIPE
Seems to be a perfect 5/7 review.
middleagedman
Awesome /s
Dederest
It doesn't even have hydraulic brakes

That moment when I tried scrolling to see the other 2 pictures
parkinglotsushi
I did that
bike2victory
That bike is worth that much.... my current bike is 8k
Kaltol1994
For $3,200 I bought a shiny red BMW convertible and that included taxes. I might pay $150 for a bike.

I've just bought used BMW motorcycle for 6K. ABS, ESA, heating grips...
CataclysmicFate
That bike... Doesn't have pedals...
itzhope
They come with standard pedals but you gotta get those off asap
gerv55
2 grand per pedal.
IrreleventMonkeySplatter
Any decent bike will not come with pedals because every rider has different preference of type/style
CataclysmicFate
TIL ^. +1
squishybaker
any bike over $700 doesn't come with pedals and if they do they are crappy nylon or beartraps just to try the bike out.
mmmhmmmhmmm
"People who purchased this item also bought" ... pedals

When you can afford a $10000 bike, you hire people to push you around.
CataclysmicFate
Point taken. Well put.
CwispyNoodles
*11000 +tax
SleepyRidin
Right. My bad.
ezrida616
Just cause you can't afford one doesn't mean u have to shit on it. "Omg this Ferrari was only 235,000... I bought 4 of them" blah blah blah
Vacationdad
Hell that's not even the most expensive bike I've ever seen, it's a silly sport.
URNSHOW
For that much... I'm buying a car.
AGTJacke
It gets stolen in a year tops anyway.
spaghettiThunderbolt
As a mechanic and bike salesman: no need to spend more than $2k on a bike unless you have money/ride professionally.
HarrisonFordsEarring
I love when Amazon slashes through their original price, and advertises it "on sale" for only a few pennies less.
RasputinLoverOfTheRussianQueen
Why are you even in the market for a 10,000 bike
SlicedSides
I was just looking around in amazon for bikes after watching the top gear episode where they raced cyclists against cars and hover van.
RasputinLoverOfTheRussianQueen
I remember that episode. Bikes can be super expensive.

This must be what the Scots use to type.

I totes read it in a Scottish accent too :D

DontJewishYourOvenWasHotLikeMe
Three times the shifting power, great for when you need to change from 1st gear to 4th
LogicalFail
Reading out loud makes it sound like a ridiculous gaelic accent
musicalmrl
Your post is cool and all, but I upvoted you simply because your username makes me happy.
SomeMoistenedBint
You make me happy, Mrs. Terrible Lizard (or is it Mr. Sterrible Lizard?)!
musicalmrl
1st one's correct! And as a US citizen, I'm thinking our gov't might be best served by a farsical aquatic ceremony at this point.
SomeMoistenedBint
I agree! Strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is a great basis for a system of government!

"Fave stars!!!" is what makes me laugh the most about that
ThePhoenixBard160
That's a good gaming key bored at least
JoinedThisForTheButts
Especially since the bored keys didn't join the board
Dunhaaam
Not really, no numbers for swutching weapons/seats, no control key to crouch, esc key to pause/open menu, no ~ for console commands either.
wallofdix
Mouse buttons (like some the razers for example) for numbers or macros, c for crouch, keybinds for the rest. Itd be a decent fps board maybe
Dunhaaam
Do people actually use c for crouch?
wallofdix
I do, but i grew up using a macro pad (and then later the g15) on the left so those were my pinkie/ring finger keys.

TraceofSpades
It's for moba's and RTS
FearOfKermittment
Not all mobas. Dota uses the function keys and the number kwys
TraceofSpades
Not if you map them to a moba pad. I play Dota with as many keys as that.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
The real joke is spending $11k on a bike and only getting a Kestrel. When you bike 300+ miles a week, $10k on a bike makes more sense
Fun4No1
Out of curiosity, what do you ride?
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
Canondale six13 carbon team 1 dura ace. But if I were to get a $10k bike it'd be a giant, trek, or canyon
Fun4No1
Yeah 10k for that bike is ridiculous. I have a '13 Focus Izalco team SL 2.0 which I absolutely love.
anthaneezy

HesGotTwoFirstNames
No kickstand?!
escalinci
It doesn't even come with lights or a basket!
DasOgre
Nice bikes don't come with kick stands as it adds weight and drag
HesGotTwoFirstNames
So I hear. But Isn't such a tiny amount of extra weight worth keeping an expensive investment from lying on the ground?
DasOgre
They don't lay it on the ground. They have devices they can use to keep it upright that don't need to be attached to the bike
HesGotTwoFirstNames
But how are you supposed to ride it anywhere?
DasOgre
These bikes aren't made to be daily bikes for going to a friend's house. These are bikes you use to compete or train.
MercyBacon89
As a mountain biker I will never spend more than 4K on a bike, ever. It's not worth it.
Madhousari
It is a little different with road bike tbh
TheGingerAvenger
As a bike salesman, there are so many differences.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Ex is an ironman, there are big differences in your time with these bikes.
winsZero
4K for the bike, 6k for the shoes and helmet
MercyBacon89
Yeah those shoes will make you so fast, btw is that the helmet that comes with the build in air bag?? Lol
juggernaut1
Damn even that much... That's a decent used motorcycle. My thought process is in adrenaline per dollar i guess.
ItsThatOneAsshole
As a non-biker I would never spend over $1.00 on a bike. That being said that's an AMAZING deal on the bike listed in Amazon.
Combatmatt
Im no expert but the postt pic doesn't look like mountain bike
OnlyUpvoteButthole
Must be different for road bike and mountain bikes cause for a road bike that does make a hell of a difference.
dudeiskate
As a casual bike owner, I would never spend over 300 on a bike
Wesugi
I found my bike on the dump oO
Milchsteak
I spend 800€. I ride my bike to work everyday so its worth the money. And I don't have or need a car.
CraphexLxA
Americans are retarded confirmed.
stillfallingdown
Why?
iliketokeepitsimplestupid
I think it's because Americans don't want to be extorted just to buy a bike.
stillfallingdown
Apparently.
animaI
What does that even have to do with being American?...
KateUptonsNipples
I just went mountain biking for the first time today on a 5k bike..got any recommendations for something about a grand?
MercyBacon89
Well 5k I assume it's a full suspension, you won't find a good FS for under 1k so you'll have to look for a hard tail. Trek and Scott have
MercyBacon89
Good HT for under 1k, and you might save money by looking at 2015 models which are always on sale. What type of riding do you want to do?
KateUptonsNipples
Damn..that full suspension was awesome. I might be willing to spend more I'm probably gonna be doing trails nothing crazy maybe some jumps?
MercyBacon89
I would say then get a entry level full suspension with 120mm suspension, it will probably set you up around 2k for entry level bike.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
I don't think I've spent more than $200 on a bike. For 4k I could get a car.
IcePie
my main bike cost more than my car. it's my life though and I haven't stopped loving riding since started about 27 years ago
Knutzi
My current bike costs 1200, i figured the cheapest way to shed some weight , was located above the saddle, rather than buy composite comps.
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
The weight isn't the main difference, it is handling quality, aerodynamics, stiffness, and reliable shifting
Knutzi
It's solid, i'll never be as fast as the road bikes, i am fine with that.
OatmealTheCat
(Bike mechanic) true. Had a customer drop 10k on a bike instead of the 10k he would have to spend on surgery, recovery, and meds
Knutzi
0.o
OatmealTheCat
He lost ~200lbs and kept it off. Good job him
Knutzi
So let's say this dude was 250 lbs, how the hell do you manage that, on a bike like the one pictured above?
MercyBacon89
Lol I saw a guy buy a 5k trek slash and he said he was about to go on bankruptcy, I was like wtf.
Knutzi
Too many moving parts for me =)
OatmealTheCat
Found the fixie kid
JonnySucio
People do this when their about to declare bankruptcy. Get a bunch of credit cards and run them up just before it's too late
MercyBacon89
I wouldn't know but the guy paid with cash. The sales guy had to bring his manager to do the transaction.
MercyBacon89
Yeah that's about how much I got my trek fuel, I love MTB but 4K for a bike is BS, especially since every year a new model comes out.
Knutzi
Last years model might be a bargain, it is very likely.
MercyBacon89
Yeah that's how I buy my bikes, our LBS has a sale for previous year bike model and usually you can save 40 to 50% but the lines are long.
cranberrysaucealabart
As a mountain biker who doesn't DH or ride whistler you won't spend over 4K.
MercyBacon89
Got a DH bike got it for less than 3k brand new, I also spend 3k on my enduro bike and 1200 for my hard tail. All bikes were previous 1/2
MercyBacon89
Previous year model, I love mountain biking but I can see myself spending 4K or more on a bike that will be an old model in a year.
cranberrysaucealabart
You sir are just a smart shopper then! Worked at a bike shop in whistler, it's crazy what people spend on brand new current year anything
MercyBacon89
Oh man I would love to visit whistler, I hear you guys got some nice trails!
