    i do have everything, but not a carbon cup/saucer - fantastic. Any idea of the price? Wonder how it washes? And where would it fit on the bike?

    I just had a look at www.starbike.com and it's 175 Euros for the cup/saucer!! prob ideal for some City traders desk but I'll pass. The site has some amazingly bling/expensive/desirable jit to waste your money on

    1695 kr that's danish right? just used www.xe.com FU<K ME that's £179 if I had some coffee right now, it'd be over my screen

    It's awesome and I now really want a set but never for that much unless all my coffees came with danish bj's I could never justify that :lol:

    I can only assume I've got it wrong somewhere

    Reasonably sure Karlstad is in Sweden, hence currency would be Swedish Kroner not Danish.
    Price comes down to 142 GBP. Bargain!

    135 of our British Pounds for a plastic cup and saucer. :shock:

    This isn't a case of sour grapes, but I reckon it wouldn't taste right.
    It's ~30% epoxy resin you know.

    Some suckers will buy anything! :lol:

    But it's not 531 and therefore it just won't LAST.... won't even be comfortable. Innovation, pah, pish, that's what I say, eh, what's that, Pension Day, I'll be right there...

    carbon pen :shock: Pics please!

    I'm gonna get one. I'm gagging to buy something not too expensive but pricey thats bike orientated and all the stuff for my ride is too much.

    It's a good compromise!

    DJ, funny you mention 531 - a couple of years ago I bought a Holdsworth 531 (not frame, complete bike, with Record headset and mechs among other goodies) for the exact same price as that cup!

    I know which I would rather have!

    Why don't you just get a pizza slicer from Park Tools (Doh! Clever beat me to it) for a fraction of the price or instead or a Campag bottle opener though I think this is expennie?

    Wonder how dishwasher proof the cup & saucer is? I wonder also if you drop it you can it analysed for carbon fractures like some manufacturers do for their frames (LOOK IIRC).
