 h-h-h-h-h......how much 
|
 |
 £7,149, it says in the article 
|
|
 The guys at my local shop reckon it rides very very well, they say that Scott really seem to have got it right this time. It's about time they built a decent full suss bike really, so maybe this is it.
|
|
 yes, but, where's my credit card...
|
|
"Hello bank manager, I'd like to borrow £7200 for a pushbike please" "A PUSHBIKE????! HAVE YOU NOT READ THE NEWS RECENTLY??? CREDIT CRUNCH YEAH??!! **** OFF!!" Anyway that HammerSchimdt website is pretty annoying, anyone know how it works yet?

 Whirly planetary coggy magic.
|
|
Intriguing.... Shift whilst not pedalling whirly witchcraft methinks! (mehopes, gadzooks)
|
|
 If I was serious - seven grand serious - about marathons/enduros I'd be straight on a Spark not a Genius.
|
|
Cheaper models are available  I sometimes think that manufacturers rather shoot themselves in the foot with these attention-grabbing top-spec models that nobody actually buys 
|
|
Is there anything over the £10k mark yet?
|
|
yeah, but it's roadie stuff
|
|
If I was spending 7k then I have a custom build anyway, not some off the peg American thing.
|
|
__________.jpg) Yeah exactly, who on earth would buy that? Even if money were no object I wouldn't be in the least bit interested.
|
|
It's like they've just picked the most expensive bits out of a catalogue and thrown them at a frame.
|
|
 Talk about fussy......
|
|
For 7k I'd be very fussy.
|
|
 Swiss stuff, not American
|
|
I have to say I'm not sure which bits I'd change for my "money no object" build. Although it's all rather moot, as money generally is an object
|
|
I'd start with the frame
|
|
 It'll be bought by city types with too much money, who are told it's the best thing. Probably makes more sense than spending a similar amount on a Merida 96, or Spark LTD, which will never see a race number! I think it's ugly.
