[Closed] Why are bicycles so expensive?

Still if it wasn't for rich, audi driving, golfing, rogaine and viagra abusing, In-line four DOHC riding, fully leathered clad snobs on moutain roads riding race replica carbon bikes I wouldn't be having as much fun when I overtake them a 2k 1987 thumper.

FTFY

2009 S-Works Epic - £4500
2012 S-Works Epic - £7200

If this is purely the value of the pound dying, why haven't all consumer electronic prices exploded? 17% inflation per year? Looking forward to next years £8500 range

i hope they sell NONE of them (for taking the pi*s) ... you can buy a frickin car for 7200 😐

It's a nice feeling isn't it Juan. I know a lot of motor bikers with stupidly fast and expensive bikes but most of them seem to know how to ride them fast and well. I've never felt the status culture was quite as bad in motorbiking. I could just be blind though.

I think it's the high risk of serious death and injury that puts the walting ponces off.
