And how do you ask without sounding like it's an issue for you?

'issue'? 'demanding'?
money exists to be earnt and spent, its not my business or concern how.
how would you find out without asking?

but ffs - its over 6k worth on that particular one, how is this justified?

?

not just you anyway, there is a long running theme of "where do they get it?" "how do they afford it?" "fat little asian kid on $10000 bike?"...

does it matter? no.

oh, that was just being curious.

I dunno I think 1000aa has a point. Even on a paper round or a Saturday job or whatever, that dos was worth a shit load. Would've had to save for aaaaaages. And ages and ages without spending anything.

This.

Having said that, it's a bit of a generalisation to labelled them quickly as fat asian kids with parent's money, even if it actually true.

^^^^^^ that Panasonic is lovely.

geddit?

So a dos Houston is well over half what the average Indonesian earns in a year...

The T1 at the top of the page is perfection

^ This.

It's a track bike thought, hardly the hippy hoppity kind we find on here.

More track than tarck doe.^^

Oops scoble beat me to it.

does it matter? no.

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise we only bothered with Life's Most Important Issues on here :)

I fucked up the quote... Does it matter? no.

t1 is the best proper track alu frame in my opinion. Just funny that the welds on mielec are a lot smoother

At a £1000 for a frame you would expect slightly better. It was between a T1 and a DF3 for me. Carboonnnzzzz won tho

Dat Moser is too big for Dustin

ftfy

Okay, at first I'm sorry for the late reply. Just got home after work :D Let's wrap it up...

Can you tell meet one thing please, and sorry if this will sound vulgar or something. Where do all the kids take the money for all this gear? Is that true that their parents save for a moped for them and when they say they d prefer a bike instead all this money goes torward the bike? There was a picture of this kid who looks like he's 12 with dosnoventa,enve and hed3 plus rotor cranks I think, and it really made me wonder. Thanks

yeah, but average Indonesian doesn't exist.
I am aware these are blooming economy countries, but ffs - its over 6k worth on that particular one, how is this justified? Really looking forwards to hmdns' reply.

There are alot of wealthy families in SE Asia. Rich kids get bought nice things. It's not just fixed gear, nice DH mountain bikes, nice kit, nice cars... Over there though there isn't a divide between rich and poor like there is here. I found wealthy kids and kids without money all socialise together, so I'm guessing there will be people riding unipacks alongside those riding mirrion $$$ sweet fixies.

The fact that it's such an issue for some people here demanding where these kids get their money, how they justify it etc...

Well, I've seen parents buy their kids fast cars, then pay for all the mods.... Cars cost a fortune in Asia. So if you think about it, track bikes are really quite a wholesome and affordable hobby in comparison.

Here's the simple answer :
At the first time they build/bought new bikes, these kids, they surely get (or maybe ask for) moneys from their parents. Billions of money spent, just for a bike. And then, the next thing they do is just rotates the money by selling its parts and then get fresh money, then bought another parts and so on...

have any of you guys saw this video : Prapanca // morning ride on Vimeo
?!?!
It's just a simple example for what kids in Indonesia did for the bike thing...
if you guys know what I mean

About this, it's absolutely a 100% true.
That's the thing I love about Indonesian bicycle thing. Both rich & poor people, as long as they had a bike to ride on then they will ride together. No matter what specs are they running. Both sweating from cycling, so why hesitate to ride & get healthier together?

We, Indonesian cyclist, here have 1 common quote :
"The most important thing in bicycling world is about enjoying the ride, not about discussing the bikes itself" :D

thanks for the answer, thats what I thought tbh but it helped to understand..
