I know its REALLY sad - but I quite fancy a Porsche Bicycle

[khushy]

I am a bicycle NUT (and I mean BICYCLE MENTAL) am a trained Campagnolo Race Mechanic, have a good few lovely bikes - a Peugeot 753r that I bought in 1989 that is MINT + a hand-made low profile TT Bike with rare teardrop tubing and an absolutely stunning (6.2kg) Colnago - but I quite fancy a Porsche Belt-Drive bike that I have seen in the showroom for "running around on".

Whats the chances of getting a massive discount (off the rrp £2500) - cuz dey iz well overpriced . . . innit - and I cannot imagine many people speding that amount on a Porsche Bicycle!

Anyone have one?

Failing that I will buy all the bits, some Porsche stickers, get it painted PTS Orange etc and build my own.

Don't ask don't get, but I'd be very surprised. Weren't they only released the other month, and retail at circa £5k

If you were dropping a deposit on a new car though? I'm sure they would look differently at your request.

hmmmmmmm well thats not an option as I love the Spyder - and if I was looking at a new car - it wouldnt be pork - there would only be one choice IMHO!!

Will have to rethink my strategy - any other suggestions!!!

£2,500 is cheap for a bike

Rowan Atkinson was eyeing one up at West London a couple of weeks ago. Don't see the appeal personally, I would much prefer to buy a specific bike company bike.

the belt drive appealed to me - a bit different and I liked the way the frame had been put together to accommodate the belt-drive system + of course its got a Porsche sticker on it!

Go on then I'll bite - what would it be?

R8 without hesitation - now coming into my affordability bracket - i.e. CHEAPASCHIPS!

I guess that means you're into Lycra and wrap-round sunglasses too then

Not only when he's on his bike, I'd wager.
