Anyone that puts XT brakes on a bike, along with a SID, and asks $9,000, should be punched in the mouth. Regardless of the frame type.

Just like the Porsche bike that was produced.. A mediocre bike, with mediocre components, at an astronomical price.

Ahh well, something for everyone, right? At least the money went back into the bike market instead of the heroin market.

the porsche bikes weren't that bad.
built by a reputable german frame builder (votec)
the first XC hardtail back in like 98 or something was actually lower priced then the similar bike from votec because porsche wanted a price that ended with 911
so it did cost 2911 DM.

I remember seeing that in MBA a couple of years ago and the MSRP was 10k.

Expensive? Are you guys kidding? That's like, a thousand bucks off. A screaming deal :blah:

good eye....
i own those brakes they're better than XTR.
:p
But they're not "lighter" so they do not fit the build.

If i was a millionaire i'd buy it so i could break it. :evil:
