most expensive bike

545cu4ch · Oct 14, 2005

I was just wondering, which is the most expensive bike you guys know and why does it cost that much?
Put pics if possible.

I know the Litespeed Niota Ti costs around $7000, but there surely are more expensive ones?

Ells bikes are among the most expensive i have seen. take a 2500 dollar frame (Moment) add a 800 dollar fork (Fox 36) and fully built with Sram X.0 stuff and high dollar wheelset FSA carbon cranks etc. you can get way up there.

7K for a bike, even in Ti is pretty pricey. better have a really hot blonde 19yr old girl in a thong on the handlebars for entertainment at that price.

I read a posting where jeff jones said his One bikes may starty pricing out at 10,000. If I had 10,000 I would definately put the money into one of his pieces of art.

A Titus FCR ExoGrid frame is $3750, that's a good start to a real expensive bike.

I got my bike for $250.00 used. Could I really have an amount of fun on some other bike that would justify spending an additional $6,750.00?

Maybe if it came with a better job...

i'd imagine that would be the fork, frame, and shock not all other components though, right?

Get Titus, or some custom builder to do a new design one-off for ya. Preferrably in Ti, or Ti-Carbon mix.

It'll cost a lot, and I mean alot, of coin. Heard from a Diamondback rep in the day that a prototype V-Link that was done by Titus was easily in the 5 figures.

Only problem is... just because it is the most expensive doesn't mean that it's gonna ride the best.

Seven or IF

I don't have pics but the highestt pricing I've seen was on Sevens Ti version of the Maverick frame and the Independant Fabrications Tungston Electrode. Both are something north of $3500 frame only and I can't tell you why they cost twice what a Turner flux does.

Honda RN01

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Honda RN01 that Greg Minnaar rides. I know it's not available to the public, well...not yet anyway. Rumor has it that the bike, with all it's Honda fabricated parts, costs around $80,000.

I think I'll stick with my Stumpjumper.

Columbines are a pretty penny. The pics make it obvious why they cost what they do:
