[cmg]

[leviathans_child]

seriously?

thats a 10000 bone bike you're looking at

 

[FatTireFred]

thats a 10000 bone bike you're looking at

and I'm sure it's handmade in Italy, too

 

[rcnute]

Blech.

 

[pdh777]

It's not a bad bike - but I question $10,000 grand @ 16.3 lbs size 48.

You can probably do better for less

 

[BluRooster]

That's nice. Good luck!

 

[logansites]

only $6000

only $8500

only $8500

I would take those 3 bikes in that order anyday. The Bottechia doesn't do it for me; but OP if you love it, go for it. That's what it's all about.

Hot [email protected] I can't stop lusting after Merckx bikes. It's a disease.

You got that right and it's the cheaper of the 3.

U..G..L..Y.. Bottechia ain't got no alibi.
You ugly! Hey! Hey! You ugly!

U..G..L..Y.. you could make an onion cry
U..G..L..Y.. like an alien chased by the F.B.I

U..G..L..Y.. You ain't got no alibi.
You UGLY!

10,000 "bone" and you get a Selle Italia C2 and Keo Classics? Why not sell it without pedals and saddle?

 

[atpjunkie]

cheapest

You got that right and it's the cheaper of the 3.

and I bet it got the best reviews

ya ever notice everyone who rides a Merckx just loves them??

 

[dead flag blues]

Whatever works.

Whenever I've got $10k burning a hole in my pocket, I order a Seven Axiom with Record and an SRM..

 

[atpjunkie]

for 10g

i'd get 3 custom cx bikes built

 

[pdh777]

Further, other posters have provided some great alternatives at less than 10G. My own 2 cents would be Look 585, 586 or 595.

That being said if you want to spend that kind of $. Parlee or Crumpton make very high end custom bikes in that price range with Record- no more concerns over 4 sizes - I'd hate to compromise on that expensive a purchase.

BTW I think Bottechia is now made in Asia. NTTIAWWT

Recently reviewed in Australian magazine Ride.
Given a reasonable review but nothing glowing especially with that price tag.
In fact they hinted that they would have expected better.

 

[logansites]

Hell, I wouldnt mind having this one...
