    If you need to ask, you can't afford it. A quick google comes up with £4.1k frameset, complete bike.......................................£11k :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Fucking drop fucking dead fucking gorgeous! (apart from the jap crap :wink:) Best looking bike available IMO.

    Will probably be going to some fat IT consultant or something who will not do it justice :evil:
    Oh well am just jealous as I am poor.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    I thought these frames looked freaking awful when they were first released...

    Then I saw and held one when I went to Paligap and, well, it blew me away!

    Stunning :o

    This bike has been wheeled in and out of every bike shop in Bristol as they want someone to stock the bikes? Are you stocking it? Saw it back before Xmas - nice machine as they say.

    Simply awsesome makes the spesh venge look like a raleigh shopper bike.

    The Lion King was always my favourite most charismatic pro rider.

    Cav should ride this ! team deal or not, have you ever seen a shorter but beefier headtube

    I saw this frame down at Ride in Parkstone, Poole. What blew me away was the attention to detail ie bottom bracket and where front mech hangs. Absolutely stunning bike in the flesh. Would not have it in Batman Black though.
    Was told by the guys in the shop that a local had ordered his frame and the total build cost was going to be £13-£14k!!! with Campy Super Record and Reynolds RZRs (£5k).
    Apparently the client loves his Italian motorbikes and cars so imagine this is going to someone in Canford Cliffs or Sandbanks who will get out on it a couple of times a year.
    Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.
