That's what I meant...usage. Work in counter terrorism/intelligence/forensics then?
Oh...I see....art lol....cool.
mtb stuff is very overpriced and doesn't seem very strong for how much it costs.
the cost/added value is in making it as light as possible, the trade off for making it light is that it'll end up being only just strong enough.
After reading this thread, it got me thinking - the only "problems" I've had with bikes and related purchases have been with manufacturers/distributors/sellers of high-end or boutique brands. Seems to me that all the USPs associated with expensive stuff are just that - designed to justify the price, not any reflection on quality/performance/customer care.
After seeing that 5 link, I noticed they have Bloods at £899.

Is that common?
Loads of quality frames been available new-old stock for half price or less, seen £2K yetis and Turners for £800, ibis mojos for £1100... I paid £1000 for a brand new Alpine 160 with CCDB, retail on that is £1800...
Who pays rrp?
