I think Kinetic-One deserve a thread for this...

    Prices from £8999 :shock:

    Is that why????

    so it's (probably) the best bike in the industry in a questionable metric of quality, for £8999.
    sweet!

    The Kinetic One logo is so naff. It may as well be written in Comic Sans. It cheapens any bike, especially a one off custom framed one. Lets be honest with ourselves, how a bike looks is incredibly important...

    Besides, the BH Ultralight, Cervelo R5ca and Cannondale Supersix Evo are lighter, cheaper (Except the cervelo)and production bikes.

    I particulary like the way that after spending at least £8,999 on a bicycle they will coutrier it back to you - no snail mail for this bunch. Therandom use of capitalisation within teh blurb also strikes nme as a partioculary effective marketing tool.

    Agree 100% with Nap - logo is awful - looks like something you got free on a copy of MTB Monthly you read at the
    dentist.

    Seriously though - nice light bike, good spec, poor colours (but hey, one man's meat etc etc) but how much?

    Nah - think I'll give it a miss and buy a Ritte Bosberg, some Obermayers, transfer the Red from the good bike and spend the rest on buying pork scratchings and cool retro Belgian kit.

    It's all a bit "My Big Fat Gypsy Bicycle". Detracts from what is probably a very good bike.

    Oooh I've just spotted the Cycle To Work scheme logo on the website. Would it be suitable? Would Mrs C mind the expense ('but think of the petrol savings...')?
