C'mon, who's going to be first to buy the Chanel bike?
Even if the voices aren't real, they have some very good ideas.

    The Chanel bike hits the boutiques in time for Christmas, and will cost around £6,200.

    How the hell can one seriously justify that price tag.... madness I tell you, madness....

    That's just insane.

    Why when you can get one of these for £570 RRP:

    Well, if people are prepared to pay £30k for a mobile

    Don't get me started on "Design", I work near a design college and used to work with a guy who lectured there. "Full of sh1t" doesn't even start to do it justice...

    I always go for the "form follows function" approach, therefore the Chanel bike is...for tw£ts with more money than sense, ie uninformed idiots

    But that's just my opinion, I'm quite open minded about it :lol:

    Anyone see the Harry Enfield schetch, "I saw you coming", springs to mind?

    Sure there will be some dafties that'll fork out for one, expect to see it on ebay early spring!

    I'm also a form function bloke

    Why do people by polo T-shirts at £70 when they only cost £2 to make?

    All those "badges", so little quality.

    Could get a tidy Prince / Trek whatsit / Colnago Extreme or a full custom hand built 953 for much less and spare change.... WTF !!!!!!

    You could get a couple of really nice bikes, loads of clothing and tools, a workshop stand, lights, locks...and still not look as much of a £$%t as whoever buys one of these

    Even though it's Chanel, they'll still have to pedal to make it go. Do you think we should tell them?

    Does this mean to keep up my green credentials on line I should bin the Land Rover bike catalogue I received in Bikebiz this month? Or do I go to the extremely rare BMW road bike or the Ferrari branded Colnago?
