What's the point in those super-expensive tourers over something like an early 90's steel 531ST Dawes Super Galaxy? Has all the mounting points, fits wide tyres etc.

Starts at $4000 (frame only?):

£300, complete 531ST bike with Deore DX groupset:

Maybe $4,000 is to the owners what £300 is to you?

Let's not kid ourselves that Sachs frames are good value either. You buy them because of this is how you picture them being built:

and since Jobs left you've had a whole in your heart for products made by men in rollnecks.

I wonder how much more a set of Pego-Richie tubes and all the Sachs dropputs/fork crowns and frame parts cost over a regular off the shelf Columbus/Reynolds set.
