Pinkbike Poll: Mountain Biking - What Should it Cost?
Exactly. I'm always amused how smilar this attitude is to how kids always say "its not fair!". No, its not "not fair" just because you don't like it.

Pinkbike Poll: Mountain Biking - What Should it Cost?
I don't understand why people don't get this. People bitch about an $8k+ price tag of some of the flagship builds today. Well, you're getting the same spec as the pros at that point.
To continue the car metaphor, a full blown race car (depending on the series obviously) is easily 6-7 figures. And this doesn't even touch formula racing: the top f1 teams are spending hundreds of millions per season. Red bull averaged something like over $12 million per race in 2012.
Expensive? Of course. But as ride-801 said, you get what you pay for. Just because I would like to be able to afford an f1 car doesn't mean it "should" be cheap enough. Same thing goes for bikes. $10k for the same damn bike that the top paid athletes in the sport are on doesn't sound so bad now.

Sep 14, 2014Specialized Demo 8
$2400 USDSelling my 2011 specialized demo 8. My season is over and I could use the money for some medical bills. The bike has been well maintained and most major parts being 2012 or newer. There are no dents anywhere. The only damage worth mentioning to the frame, aside from the usual paint chips, is some foot rub on the drive side chainstay. The entire drivetrain aside from the cranks and chainring was replaced 2 weeks ago. The spd pedals pictured are not included, although if you want them or a pair of spank spike flats, I can throw those in for a few extra bucks.
Parts list:
Fork: 2012 Fox 40 RC2 - Fresh rebuild ~5hrs of actual riding ago
Shock: DHX RC4
Wheels: Funn Skylark - Rear is a little out of shape and has a little hop, but nothing noticeable while riding. Front is true. Typical 1 season of DH wear and tear.
Bars: Race Face Atlas
Grips: ODI Oury, 1 day of riding
Stem: Chromag direct mount
Brakes: XO trail levers, Code calipers - Fresh bleed as of 09/12
Shifter: XO 10 spd
Rear derailleur: XO 10 spd short cage type 2
Tires: 2.5 Butcher front (1 day of riding), 2.3 Butcher rear (~5 days of riding)
