Only $6,000?

Winner of the conspicuous consumption in cycling award is the
$1,000,0000 gold plated mountain bike. It's #1 at the bottom of the
page.


Not sure about the $1million or $10million (you have seven zeroes after the 1,
that gets you to $10million) gold plated bikes.


Sorry. My hands start to shake when dealing with more than $1 million
dollars.

But Trek and Specialized, two main stream sold everywhere bike brands
have bikes a LOT higher than a mere $6,000. Specialized SL7 is $13k.
Trek Madone SLR9 is $12.5k. The mid priced bikes from these two companies
are more than $6k.


I would guess those are intended for the pros with corporate sponsors.
The most I've paid for a new bicycle was about $300 in 1984. ($758 in
todays inflated dollars). If one wants the very best, one had to pay
the very most.


Is it "inflated dollars"? Or "deflated dollars"? :-)
