Now, if you add in the cost of the speakers and subwoofer, then I'm looking at an amazing bike. This seems like a rational argument to me. Am I wrong?
My husband and I each have five or me bikes. So, no, I don't think you're wrong. But don't spend $3k or more unless it really buys you want you want. I, personally, would go with custom steel from any number of builders, but I'd want to build it up with decent components and good wheels--and that really adds up.

Somebody mentioned Davidson. A woman on another forum just had one made and really enjoyed the process. It's a gorgeous bike.
