Fark that has done the rounds. $20k bike. First thing I'd do is strip it and dump the frame off a bridge, then the rest of the parts as they'd likely be equally as [censored]. Honestly. What makes this bike x2 that of a high end rig, and x5-6 times the price of what you'd need to race on...?
Hang on a sec. That's mechanical. Not even electronic. lol. 20k is 18k too much.
What about selling the frame overseas?
The dopy skunt who took off with it looks like he wouldn't know an airport from an armpit.
I jump to conclusions.
Thinking more about it.... I've seen the Jetstar lines to Bali.
Won't fetch much over there. 🙂
Do Lightweights have serial numbers?
Yeah, they match your postal address in Monaco. Because if you're riding those, you can afford a place there.
Side story - Saw a smashed up set of LWs the other week. C/B Grade chick hit a pothole in a race with them. Gender aside. What the hell.
It's got wannabe Dura Ace 4 arm cranks on. 18.5K over priced.
I just built a pair of 28 spoke wheels with some Taiwanese hubs and kinlin aluminum 30mm rims. 1580gm without skewers, 1675gm with. Who needs farkin lightweights? Especially for c grade. Thats ksyrium elite territory for under $300. When I ride them it will be the 30kg spare tyre holding me back, not the wheels. Or maybe the wheels will hold me back when I start breaking spokes on the [censored] because my wheel building ability is [censored].
The hubs spin nice and smooth and I reckon the rims aren't bad. They were round out of the box which is more than I can say for some mavic rims I've seen and they seem to have held up to all the tension I had to put on them on the drive side.

Apparently they are good bikes. They'd want to be at the retarded prices they sell them for. [censored] that paint job looks like festering [censored].
HA, I didn't notice the G.I. Joe paint job during the day. It's still not a bad looking bike
It's on eBay in disguise already
lols. Even Giant look better than that pos.
Camo paint because you want to be hard to identify while riding it :P
exactly
hahahahhhahaah
This is interesting.
smh.com.aurichest 1 per cent own half the worlds wealth report 20151015 gkaide.htmlOpen ↗
I'm not exactly sure how that wealth is calculated, I mean I owe far more money to the gov't and banks than I have; but I do own a 19yo van, some 5+yo computers , a bunch of old bikes, a rented houseful of cheap furniture, with a backyard full of plumbing [censored]. Oh yeah, some decent tools too.
But there's a chance I'm in the top 50% of the world's wealthiest still, with as little as AU$4.4k in assets. Surprising how easy it is to be in the top 1% worldwide with less than AU$1million in assets, let alone top 10%.
hmm.
Oh alright fine. It was 80s night againhere. There was better earlier, but we did end up here.
I need to sleep.
Mmm, custard.
Bikes at the Kona Ironman. Jeez, Cervelo have really got their marketing wizardry entrenched in the tri-hardlete world. I suppose it's dominated by North American brands, hence all the Felts, Treks and Specializeds, along with the Cervelos. But only 4 Colnagos?
