It’s nice (I like the tight geo) but I don’t see how it cost $10,000.
Even if every part was custom made it wouldn’t cost that.
Yeah, I fail to understand the price-tag, but DAYUMMMM that thing is nice.
Is that $10,000 to build or $10,000 to buy?
They’re kinda slow on the uptake, Sacha built this for the 2006 NAHBS. The figure is more of a “it’s not for sale, but if you offered me $10K…”. It certainly didn’t cost him $10000 to build, poor reporting.
It won ‘Best in Show’ btw :roll:
Which would you rather have, this or a mass produced $10000 crabon fribe road bike?
I’ll take the mass produced crabon bike, thanks!

Thought it might be something like that, those figures just weren’t adding up for it to cost $10,000 to build.
I’d take the $10,000 carbon roadie any day of the week
and thats where we differ H.
mr white has a elegant touch with his builds. this is an example of that.
it is a an elegant trike… but a load of wank at the same time
i will probably take the carbon bike too thanks
well that’s ugly and fucking stupid.
don’t really understand the hate. its a work of art. supreme craftsmanship, and a nice story to go with it.
i will agree that it’s very well made but it’s only art in the same way tracey emin presenting a shit-stained bedsheet is a work of art. it is hardcore ugly. and the ‘price’ makes me want to fly a plane into a symbol of western consumption.
I wouldnt call it ugly, and its def well crafted but i would be wary about calling it art. Its a bike for children.
I will never have or even know a child that i would spend $100 on let alone $10,000.
lol, nicely put. as stated above, i don’t think its for sale (he made it for his daughter), but that price is what he would consider letting it go for. i think its reasonable.
as for hardcore ugly, i couldn’t disagree more, but yeah each to their own etc.
Exactly, it’s a fucking trike for gods sake.
And yes, I’d still take the $10,000 carbon road bike thanks.
