[i]A grin from the face of solitude captivates Every Day to be the best of very bests.
The town and the city enrapture its very being of existence.
A new route or a constant stream of consciousness are the dreams that lift it over a rise or river as the world changes all around.
Every Day complements this potential and greatness to come from the very legs that give it life.
Ride on. Sun. Rain. Smile. Every Day.

[/i]

Erm.

It's Rapha [i]and[/i] handbuilt in the States. Of course it's expensive.

I do really like the bike, though I'd go for the Continental one myself.

It's rapha [b]and[/b] CK doncha know? All they need now is Paul Smith to come up with a natty paintjob- surprised they missed that trick- could have added another couple of thousand.

is that handle shaped thing above the BB a handle? if so why? surely its going to be awkward to lift it there, and you'll get oil all over your £3,000 rapha suit.

I can think of 100 bikes I'd rather spend 5k on

It's built by Chris King.

A Chris King headset costs 8 times as much as one made by FSA. Extrapolating from that, this is exceptionally good value, comparatively.

It's for carrying it down the stairs from your loft apartment.
