  • Most people are limited by physiology and finances.

    With used parts I reckon someone in the know could build the silver CAD on the previous page for less than £1k. Whoever built that bike has a great eye for detail. I've never gotten the moneygun aspect of this thread. Not all but most the big dollar stuff on here looks middle aged try hard to me. Like those "custom" cafe racers round Shoreditch being ridden by bankers.

    Adanger on PR/Insta knows how to make insanely expensive stuff look HH but shirley that has more to do with her knowing what looks good?

  • The dale on the previous page proportions are hideous.

    The cockpit is almost as long as the top tube.

    The rake on the fork.

    The toe overlap.

    I could go on.

  • For me, it’s exactly those details that make it such a good candidate.

    I love that bike, but it’s at least £1.5k IMO. Which is still a good value road bike with loads more character than anything at 3k nowadays.
