Like flashing your cash on a 5k plastic bike,when my 2008 Carrera banshee X has been a great steed.

That’s funny my £5k plastic bike has been awesome for me. If fact, they both have…

£5k? You could buy a watch for that…

Back street whores are cheap, but high class escorts are better.

You have bike envy and need one of these

£580.00 on a bike with Bombers,mavic rims and X7 gearing.Never let me down and has been fun.Your a cynic pinetree.

I dont believe any 5k bike is 10 times better than my Banshee.Your all just brainwashed snobs/victims of Capitalist propaganda.

can’t understand the obsession with carbon bikes, fair enough if you’re very very wealthy but if you’re just middling a 1k/2k steel or alu bike would suit your needs very well.

Don’t forget wealthy.

You’re all just brainwashed snobs/victims of Capitalist propaganda.

At least insult people in a grammatically correct manner!

I don’t own any carbon or 5k bikes by the way, sorry to disappoint!

My current MTB only has x5 not x7…..are you more of a capitalist snob than me?

I’m confused. Two of my bikes are from 2007, one steel and one alu, this gooood ya, me not capitalist snob but I’ve got a 2013 carbon bike, what does it all mean? Enlighten me oh wise one!

Aww your bike costs less than a rim, how quaint.

What about my soon to arrive, nearly £9k one? How will it compare to the £6k one? Or to my £3k road bike? Where does my £25 one fit in? Or my single speed on one?

I r confused.

monkey, I don’t wish to pry, mate but why are you gibbon people such a hard time? What’s orang?

Have we started an exchange programme with MBUK?

How did you get on in your exams?

Wait, are you Pussywillow? This all sounds somewhat familiar..

X7 gearing

People buy other than XTR? How quaint.

Yes I believe some of the peasants still have to resort to this. Cannot believe people are prepared to spend as little as 5k on a bike. That’s not enough for a decent desert wine.

So that’s frame and fork set for 5k the op is saying we should not buy ?
Can’t see 5k building a whole bike , well not one worth putting on the roof of my Audi anyway

Kaesae? Again?
