I know bikes can get expensive, but....

I've been surfing the net for a suitable frame for my next build and ran across this, I could almost buy a house for the price. Ya, it's likely an error, but with price of high end bikes who knows anymore.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELEMENT 50 BIKE '09 at JensonUSA.com


Is $91,290 too much?



P.S. anyone know of any good sites to get mtn. bike frames for cheap?

[Dave31]

Thats funny!

If you notice they do offer a price match

[eugesd]

is it made out of carbon fiber?

Ya you can get great frames usually with all the rest of it attached on craigslist. Portland list had a 18" trek with front suspension and a giant 21" mtn bike for $30 each 2 days ago. You just gotta really go thru the posts. Sometimes they just say "old bike"

I did a review on the site for that bike that I'll copy/paste here.

"the price for this bike is way too high for normal people to even consider buying it. That is why I bought it. Just so I can stick it to all you poor broke people that cannot afford a bike this expensive. Granted I WAY over paid for it but I did it because I have too much money to just let it sit there collecting interest."

They will probably take my review down but maybe after that they will take a look at the price listed and make a change.

I've been searching craigs, some come close to what I need. Being short it's ruff finding that 17-18" frame that will take a motor, is steel "cro-mo" and has disc mounts, wouldn't mind rack mounts either but from what I've read that's like looking for a unicorn if you want to pay under $200. On the bright side I found out today my brother knows someone that welds, so I may have ab easier time finding what I want.

For that price you would think it was made of solid platinum. It's crazy how high end some these bikes are, in my search I've seen forks for over $1,000, some people do have way too much money.

I had full suspension, carbon fiber framed bike that I gladly paid $2,000.00 for. As it sat the day it was stolen it would have cost about $4,000.00 to replace. I can understand paying top dollar for a nice bike, but 91grand is just a little bit too much.

There is clearky a mistake on that site. That bike sells for between $2000 and $3000.

Felt offers a bike that is just shy of 10K...Maybe this company meant $9,100.
