Bargain. The one below is $80,000 and has no brakes or gears.

[boring old man mode] Crikey. My first house was only £3000 and my first bike was £3.50 (secondhand and I still have it - but it's a bit like Trigger's broom)[/boring old man mode]

80 grand?

For that money they would have to be able to build me a bespoke bike...and believe me, they would be gibbering under the table after trying to do so, and pay me the 80K to go away

 

I think my son did aero work on that bike.

 

Not a Kit Kat then?

 

It's an amazing project, I think the headline in the linked article is unfair about 'buying' a medal. Firstly because their star rider is one of the best of the best anyway so we're into marginal gains rather than winning by tech. Secondly, as if that's not what 'Team GB' (sic) have been doing for years already...

Alongside this bike, the Hope/Lotus, new Look and new Pinarello it was shaping up to be a fascinating track season plus Olympics.

 

No time for breaks.

 

When on a marathon run.

 

No snickering, please. Or they may put a bounty on your head...

 

The lion share of these puns are sweet.
