Well, I bought the frameset off ebay and built the bike myself so that saved me some cash but when it was all said and done, about 8k. The only parts that aren't carbon fiber on it are the spokes, saddle and brakes (they're magnesium).

You can wrap up a ton of money in a bicycle. Some of the frames are $8K. :eek: Finished, you're looking at #12K. :eek::eek: I almost went that rout. :shakes head: Decided I got better things to spend $12K on. :rofl2:

When you're riding 200-400 miles a week you don't mind spending the money on the best. But yeah, you can easily spend 12k on a bike.

When I bought it. Aluminum was too stiff. Ti too flexy. Steel was just right. The old saying was, "steel is real". :rofl2:

During the week. I used to do laps around the local high school every evening for 1 hour. In that hour, I would do between 18 to 26 miles. Saturday or Sunday. Depending who wanting to go. We do the Yough River bike trail. Start at the dam and ride to the Point in Pittsburgh. That was 76 miles. The other ride was from Seven Springs to Hidden Valley ski resorts. That was about 30 miles of MT bike trails. Got lost on that ride a few times. :eek:

And that would still be true today if it weren't for carbon fiber. Stiff but compliant. :tiphat:

Average 40-75 miles a day, sometimes 100. 5-7 days a week.
