So the expense cost of the bike is primarily from the metal? Or the research? The xbox has and its components over time have significantly more in billions of dollars of research. Those circuits didn't come cheap. The metal frame? 6-7 tubes precisely wielded for which machines were invented decades ago that could do this cheaply, precisely, and in mass.


Edit: why am I arguing.. I don't think I could be convinced the prices of these bikes is justified. I think I just have to accept that this is what the market pays and so this is how it is...

Now to find the underground bicycle black market..

I see now. You're one of those people that looks for reasons to be offended. It must be frustrating to go through life like that.
