25k and nearly 21 pounds in weight- [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/aston-martin-one-77-superbike-unveiled-in-london-34595/ ]Aston Martin "superbike".[/url].

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? 😕

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?

..rebadged and....

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.

As there's only 2 minutes between posting times I suspect he probably didn't.

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.
