Does this bike exist?

TheDarkLord

Good thing they round off to the nearest cent; otherwise you may hear about a tire that costs $20.374829375 or something like that.

Powerful Pete

Yup, and don't forget that that was a great deal. Everyone else pays at least USD 24.99 for that same tire.

In 1979, 1 Italian Lire = US$0.00125. Therefore, if you purchased a tire in Italy using Italian currency and tried to convert it into US currency, you had to carry it out to thousandths of a cent to be accurate. Thank God for the Euro.

Sure, currency conversion factors are measured to several decimal places; but I don't think currency itself is measured more accurately than 2 decimal places. The extra accuracy in conversion factors is required when one is dealing with large sums of money.

I have 6 bmx, 2 mtn, and 7 road bikes.

I occasionally give the bmx bikes a spin to have fun doing flatland freestyle tricks. Back in HS in the 80’s I was heavily into bmx Freestyle. Used to do maybe 28 mile city adventure rides in them.

Then I bought a Pacific mtn bike. I use it now as a backup winter shopping bike. My Cannondale F600 was a mistake, hardly ride this mtn bike, but now in the future I’m gonna strap on a bike engine to it and use it as a moped.

I now temp work in Houston, and 4 of my road bikes are in Chicago not being used. My main workout bike – 05 Kestrel Talon. I have my CF Cervelo Soloist with me but don’t use it mainly because the crappy ergomo computer broke. For long distance rides and travel shopping I use my 2007 Trek Pilot 2.1 Spa with Jannd Panniers, Polar Power, and ceramic Ksyrium Sls.

The road bike I least ride – 2002 Giant Tcr Aero 2. My oldest, not inspiring to ride anymore but good to use as a cheap bike to workout in bad areas, like Humbolt Park Chicago – where they’ll jump you for drug money.

Oh, maybe I need lube because I get soo excited ! ….

See, I told you guys what this would cause.

And leave the good old Italian Lira out of this. We built an economy on its devaluation. Joined the Euro, and now look what happens.

I said it before, and I shall repeat it. Do you have a bike that costs $11,000+? No? Then stop boasting.

CRIKEY!! $9000US for an alu Han Soloist?

Much of my Han Soloist is used, but I put this 'rocket' together for ~$3800 AUS, which is some effort, if you you know anything about Aus bike prices

The hardest part about riding multiple bikes is finding enough saddles that suit you arse!! I've only got 4 seats that I like, so I sometimes pull the whole seat and seatpost out of one bike to ride another!!

TheDarkLord

If you find a seat that you like, is it not possible to buy the same seat for all your bikes?

Powerful Pete

But only if you can get a great deal. Me, I found the carbon braided Arione that all you chumps pay 160 Euro for 39,196768949080928247746505490820 Euro.

I got a great deal and therfore bought twelve. Even though I just have two bikes...

Wow thats a great price. How did you do that. What kind of parts do you have?

coneofsilence

Its amazing you actually remember the price. I bet you couldn't remember it again.

531Aussie

nah, I'm very fussy! There's only a couple of old Vetta saddles that my arse likes. I ran out of money trying new saddles .
I'll get 'round to it again one day
