How is it that a front and rear derailleur are worth $1400???

I mean, I get that they're rare and stuff but still:

Then again, when people are STUPID enough to spend $870 on a Pista concept why not?

If you get caught in gang related crossfire in a rough part of town while cycling, will it not only protect you in a force field but also end the shooting and make peace between the rival gangs?

seriously, what does it do that's $1400 dollars worth of special?; September 15, 2008 at 11:35 PM

Very good profit on a very disappointing product!; September 16, 2008 at 12:05 AM
ponyheart said...: i was going to say... they were kinda a joke even when they were new and even more so now. Every matchy-matchy dork wanted one and why? Wow, a fully rebuildable, poor performing, over priced anodized turd. Does it come with free Spinergy's as well?; September 16, 2008 at 2:36 AM
Anonymous said...: for some reason i found the moots seatpost more interesting than this rare derailer, so yeah, seems not to be worth the bucks he wants for it. ;); September 16, 2008 at 7:23 AM
