Limited run - bad ass paint - too big a cog - too small a ring - too much money

 

[H8R]

Starting bid was $9.99....

 

[Echo]

That is a sweet ride, worth a lot of money. But I'm surprised it went for that much.

 

[Ciaran]

It's a titanium Phil Wood. At least to me that alone makes the bling factor off the hook. "Phil Wood bottom bracket with Phil Wood EBB insert custom drilled by Jeff Jones" Pretty cool.

I am really surprised they didn't use some Phil Wood hubs. That would make it

Not sure about that price though. Seems pretty high.

 

[sanjuro]

I think it is overpriced:

Ti frame from IF: $2600
Headbadge: $200 (congrats on buying a phil wood)
Fork: $600
Crank/BB $800
Rest of parts: $1100
Total $5300

Hmm, maybe I'm wrong...

 

[stevew]

Visually it is not that appealing.

me too! for that kind of money on a phil wood bike, i was expecting to see a pair on it. those hubs glide like butter

 

[hooples3]

that is a sweet bike.....

 

[I Are Baboon]

I have some Phil Wood grease. I didn't pay $5500 for it though.

 

[AlmostHeaven]

Headbadge: $200 (congrats on buying a phil wood)

$200 for a HEADBADGE?!

you're joking, right?

i think it isn't much of a looker myself. still a pimp ride.

 

[The Toninator]

OUI was a loser. He needs a Ti BAR a TI post and a TI STEM to make that sucker a nice ride.

God Said Ti and Carbon/Alum. aught not to lie together.

mid-life crisis, wife won't allow another car in the household...besides, the 4-car garage is already full. have to find some way of paying way-more-than-it-is-worth for something.

 

[McGRP01]

I would sooo snap that frame in half.

 

[JRB]

but it sure is nice in hubs.

 

[-dustin]

i have 3 bottles of Phil's Oil.

 

[MMcG]

Phil's oil is good - that bike however - holy moly that's a lot of dough for that bike. To each his own right?

 

[stosh]

N8 would probably buy it...

Only if it was a Niner....

 

[stosh]

Only if it was a Niner....

[partsbara]

two words... w@nk value

 

[BMXman]

I get that it's limited and all but is there really that much technology involced to warrant such a price tag??

 

[Ciaran]

Nope.

 

[BMXman]

what's up with the name change??...D

 

[Ciaran]

BMXman was already taken so I had to go with this one. I tried to bid on a new name on e-bay but some guy sniped me at the last moment.

I am finding that it's a bit awkward for people ot pronounce the screenname when they meet me in person, or if I say it they do not recognize it because they don't know how it's pronounced. I end up having to describe my avatar before people realize who I am. This way I am using my real name and it describes that I am but one Mike amongst many.

I have people smell me.
