    25k and nearly 21 pounds in weight- Aston Martin “superbike”..

    Who drives these vanity projects at carmakers- presumably not cyclists?

    Is that not just a rebadged and even more over-priced Factor001?

    Didn’t someone else put their name on a Factor001 last month? 😕

    that’s a Factor 001 bike with Aston Martin sticker on it, the ‘Factor’ on the top-tube is a bit of a give-away, it’s been around a while

    heavily modified, according to the article- to the tune of 4k more expensive and 1.5kg heavier…

    I do like the epic ammounts of detail that computer lets you look at through.

    Do they do this to reduce their average CO2 rating, like with the £40k Toyota IQ car?

    A cynic might say that this is much like the rest of the Aston range 😉

    I can’t help but think that those wheels will be bloody heavy, despite what they say. Set of Lightweights would help I reckon. That’s nearly £30k!

    Aston Martin threw their hat in a long time ago!

    This one was a Chas Roberts in disguise.

    Years ago Roberts built a version of its DOGSBOLX that was rebadged as an Aston Martin mountain bike.

    If I had £25k burning a hole in my pocket (and couldn’t think of anything else to spend it on – unlikely) I’d buy one.

    At 21lb it’s a bit heavy mind.

    Surely for £25k you could buy something nicer (cannondale six evo, lightweights, new DA mechanical IMO) off the shelf, then buy the computery doodahhs which is where the cool stuff is.
