You think spending $1,000 on a bicycle is a splurge? But 10 Franklins will only get you a low-grade aluminum frame that rattles your insides, heavy components that weigh you down and cheapo wheels that fall apart after a few thousand miles. Plunk down about $30,000. Sure, it might seem absurd to spend as much on a human-powered two-wheeler as you would on a car -- a Ford Mustang GT, even. What could possibly make it worth your money to invest so much in a custom bike? Quite a bit, actually.![]() |
