I‘d say rising metal prices 🤷🏻‍♂️

what makes 2 decade old alu frames worth £400

Baffles me too!

what makes 2 decade old alu frames worth £400? Delusion?

the fact in 2022 an alu frame costs £1600

Yeah but you can say that about anything (watch thread).

People are just into bikes. They’re nice things and they don’t make them anymore. £400 today isn’t a huge amount for something you want but can’t find cos there’s none left. Plus if you ride it for a couple of years it’s alright value.

it's a sexy blue and it has dura-ace.

there's a matching E-type for sale if anyone has a spare £75k

seems like a very sound investment

Scarcity, nostalgia

Modern road bikes are also pretty gopping

And £400 gets you two bags of penne or running a 20w lightbulb for ten minutes now so it’s all relative
