Ill let your jaws drop earlier than theyre supposed to, retail on a TST frame for 05 will be $5600 Euros = $6780 USD 
thats so much coin for a frame

The Nucleon TST
- Thread starter Curb Hucker
- Start date
Absurd.
That's ridiculous, I'd just as soon buy 2 bikes...
that is absolutely retarded. Good luck selling those to anyone but poser weirdos who wont ride them on dirt and have too much money to burn.
The same folks who bought those porsche Votec bikes...

my words are haunting you fraser :evil:what makes it so expensive? i thought my bb7 was expensive and it seems it could do just the same stuff that bike can do..
lol :mumble:krazydher1 said:
i think alot of the cost is attached to the g-boxx.
Lol you can buy an MX bike for that much....
you can buy an mx bike for the price of my bike.math2014 said:
thats normalkrazydher1 said:
but bike frame= MX bike (and not MX bike frame) is NOT normal imho
oh yeah they have some crazy gearbox don't they?
it is crazy, an M-Pire w/ DHX is about $2965 USD, and a Speedhub is $1099, so youre lookin at about $4064 + $2716 for design, exclusiveness and engineering
at that price...LONG LIVE THE DERAILER!
i am in love......
too bad love is so expensive...

At $6700, I can't think of a build that would be worthy of that frame. It'd have to be made of pure gold...
I'd also imagine those shifting cables being ripped off by the lift attendants. Those rubber coated hooks have a funny way of pulling on things like that. Especially when a bike weighs 47 lbs or over.

luckily my cost for a TST is well below $6700+
that'd be the one.
the Chicago bike cops get those Benz bikes and think that theyre hot $hit on emTranscend said:
I would love to see someone scrimp and save for about a lifetime for that frame, then build it up with a junior T, hayes hfx-9s...bradical said:
ouch that would be like puting skull pattern window tint and mexican style 14in wide wheels on a ferarriThe Kadvang said:

even with team pricing we're still going to take it up the rear with no grease:mumble:ViolentVolante said:luckily my cost for a TST is well below $6700+
Wow. That price just blew my brains out of my skull.
Holy $hit! Sixty seven hundred... :mumble: dallas for a frame?!?!?
Well, I am cheap and I'd rather put my money to good use instead... maybe a used bike and the rest is for more new toys to fill up the garage space (i.e., Seadoo, KTM250, a souped up Yamaha Wolverine OR a stock Honda 400 EX)!

Damn, I guess the boxx will always cost ya...whoops, gutter time.
This is the reason why I purchased the Nucleon when I did. I knew I wouldn't be able to afford the newest inovation of the G-Boxx. I am very content because both my Nucleon and UFO have Rohloff hubs. I recently purchased another Rolhoff hub cheap for maybe another Nicolai frame next year. Wow when you think about it you can have 3 Nicolai bikes hooked up with Rolhoff hubs and still be below cost of a complete TST. These are the things I should be telling my wife.
I'm gonna ask my mommy for it if I get all As on my report card...
There's an ass for every seat.
$6700
Really?
For some strange reason I could see mountain bikers pulling armed robberies to get the latest and greatest
Not me, I say let the rich pay for the R&D for a little while
I'll get mine when the market hits critical mass and gearboxes are everywhere..
I hope at least
Its fricken cool though! Its like the Ferrari I'll never own, but its cool its out there!
