If you don't mind me asking,


What have you guys invested ($$) into some those wild bikes? ie, the bmc, trek, ridley, etc...

And while we're on the topic of moula, what is a typical TDF bike worth?

Would you believe it, but only around $3,000 went into my BMC. OEM parts and sponsor deals are great.

Typical TdF bike can be built up for under $10,000 Aussie, so I'd say about $7,500 USD.

Mine was a team special order (Trek) and has the full dura ace groupo. paid $ 2,200 which is a smokin deal.

Ok, here's mine. Finally finished the build over the past weekend. Thanks to all those who has guided me along the way.

Nice, although the purple or magenta tires burn my eyes.

Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tyres. They are supposedly red. In real life they actually looked ok, or maybe the white balance wasn't quite right with the overcast sky.

Just wait 'till the sun fades them pink, happened to mine.

Unfortunately my Giant TCR advanced team is at about 9k AUD in the picture.
I added the following over the stock bike, which was basically durace everything including the wheelset.
Its high because I paid the rrp on the stock bike when it newly introduced in November 05, should have waited and saved about 2k. This would have paid for all the add ons.

Fizik Arione Carbon Braided saddle
Deda RS Corsa Carbon seat post
Deda Zero 100 stem
Time RXS Carbon ti pedals
Elite Patao carbon cages
Michelin Pro 2 Race "limited edition" tires
Polar 625x computer (speed, cadence and hr)

And I still get cracked by mountain bikes.

Don't tell the Finance Mgr (aka the wife) or use the excuse its an investment for a healthy life. Cheaper than medical bills until you crash.

Fortunately it won't be purple/magenta, or it'll really burn Alienator's eyes.

Thank you, i know what you mean..

rode it 4 hours ago to the next town and back 1.5 hours.. and i'm starting to love it! Its nice! sporty, lively, smooth and comfortable. I've been riding it only around the block for the past 2 days, getting used to it and tweaking things

Hey IEatRice4Dinner - that's a nice looking red BMC! Can you post a better side pic of it complete? Looks really nice with Eurus wheels! What's it's weight and total cost?

I really like BMCs if I have to go for a round tube bike too. Or a Cervelo R3. Trek is last place.

weight is around like 16.25 lbs with thoes parts thats prolly around 4000$ USD

Here is my Time VX Special Pro w/Campy Record and plenty of other carbon bits.

Extremely hot. Great build.

Love the Streetfire too.

 

[Gadolinium]

Wow!! Id forgotten how cool red and black bikes look. Noice

 

[kdelong]

Here's my baby. A little retro but still a wonderful and fast ride. The photo is a little old, before I replaced the brake hoods. $40.00 USD for two, outrageous! i still have work to do on the other three before I post photos of them.

 

[IEatRice4Dinner]

that time is hot

 

[kdelong]

Your BMC is pretty hot too. Look back though this thread and look at bobbyOCR's bike. That is so hot that it should be X rated!

 

[IEatRice4Dinner]

agreed

 

[bobbyOCR]

Your time now rocks harder.

Not quite a BMC, Ridley or Time. But I just finished this a couple of weeks ago and it's a pretty fine criterium bike. Stiff, very snappy handling and horribly unforgiving on rough roads. Very comparable to the CAAD7 I was racing a couple of seasons back.
