i've always hoped that the "team replica" fad would stay within the realm of road cycling.

Keep in mind that the carbon v-10 with the enve wheel option is $10k, so the extra $1k for the custom parts selection and custom graphics doesn't seem too out of line.

This one is less expensive

$11k for rainbows, a jersey and a numberplate? No thanks. Doesn't even come with the Gucci race suspension at that price. Silly.

johnbryanpeters · Dec 15, 2013

I wonder if it has special magic like my Heckler, with its self-loosening/breaking pivot pinch bolts. That would be beyond awesome.

Rob and Greg will be lol'ing all the way to the bank

jackalope · Dec 15, 2013

May just be behind the latest tire trend, as I was with running DHFs front and back, but was Greg actually running DHR II's front and back?

Scrub · Dec 15, 2013

Does it come with a rear flat tire also? You know, just like Greg's bike at Worlds.

I agree, buying this bike is somewhat tacky, leave the world champ bike to the world champ. I am sure they will sell out easily though so good on santa cruz. Very nice parts spec, just a bit loud.

I doubt we're gonna see many of these in lift lines or on tailgates.

What I eould like to see is an all stealth black v10 frame, no colors at all, black logo's on nude carbon!

Samoto · Dec 16, 2013

some pinkbikers will buy that.

dh is still being outpaced by road by a factor of at least 2:1

Should have made it a Nelson Mandela edition and sent profits to his Children's Fund.

That's fine, I said bike prices, I did not say DH bike prices.

that's fine, i meant that road bike prices are twice as ridiculous

bizutch · Dec 16, 2013

Just wait til next year and buy it for half that.

Yeah bike prices as a whole are stupid. I can get a custom built 500CC smoker in brand new chassis for that kind of coin.....crazy.

Fo realz.

Kinda goes against the whole marketing thing of why companies have racing teams to begin with but that would be a pretty badass thing to do.

profro · Dec 16, 2013

So, that is over $200k in bikes? And of note Japan only got 1 small. Is that racist?

that's fine, I think all bike prices have gotten ridiculous, but I can get on board with road bike prices being twice as ridiculous.

Interestingly, I thought the Asian Fit Oakley's had a certain sizing tweak that was apparently very racist and assumptive of me. When corrected, I was shamed.

what a sweet looking bike.. i think the price is no problem for those who can afford and collect it.

reminds me of how CLOSE the competition was, only by 0.396 seconds to SIK MIK's polygon on 4 minutes track.

that's fine, because custom road bikes have a custom level of ridiculous

that's fine, but mountain bikes have more wheel size debates

Just ran some quick numbers. Google indicates average speeds on that track were around 47 km/h, so ~42 ft/s. 0.4 seconds of 42 ft/s is about ~17ft. So he won by 3 bike lengths on a course that was what, 3k long?
