The only people who have ever asked the price were fellow bicyclists. They usually preface the question with “Nice bike!” I note that most ride carbon frames, and don’t bat an eye because their bikes typically cost more. And I only think they asked because they recognize that it is a modern lugged steel bike.
It is an interesting point, however. I’ve become well acquainted with the owner of an LBS, who has an RB-1. His comment - “The boomers come in here and drop 2, 3, 4 grand on a bike. They want carbon. They want Ultegra. I’m glad to sell it to them, if I have it.” Well-meaning loved ones know that I owned a Lotus 7 sports car for 30 years. “I sold the Lotus and bought a bike” would suffice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
