Isn't Ascari the ridiculously expensive car manufacturer? Geez - wonder what the price tag on that mixte is! Pretty, but I'd guess it's pretty dear, as well.

I didn't calculate it properly, the frame/fork/stem alone is 142%, and the complete build cost is 228% the cost of my complete 1-off build!!!! I would be afraid to ride the thing and get it scratched Originally Posted by Muirenn

It would be like pedaling around on the Mona Lisa, slapping a lock around Michelangelo's David's ankle, splattering mud all over Vincent's sunflowers! *shudder*Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
