(I work as a tech in a shop so I'm gonna try my best to figure this out because I had the same thought when I saw this thing) Alrighty, lets generously say that it takes 2 minutes to align fussy handlebars. If the cost per labor hour is 90 bucks in said bike shop, that would mean that it costs the customer about 3 dollars (hypothetically, I don't know any bike shop that charges someone to straighten out their bars) to align the handlebars without the tool and you still have 220 dollars in the bank. If this tool takes 20 seconds to align bars that means the labor cost would be 30 cents. That means you would have to straighten 733 handlebars to break even on the cost of this tool. If we're just counting service bikes, higher traffic shops might see this many bikes come through the shop in a few months but others it could be up to a year. To conclude, that's a lot of cheese for such a tiny job. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. TL;DR - You would have to see up to a years worth of bikes come through the shop to break even on this tool.

@rivercitycycles: Yah same, I love riding alone on a quiet day.

@Trekslash360: That's still a ridiculous price for something that has all bontrager equipment on it.
