:shock: Iknow bikes have come a long way over the past 20 years or so, but my god the price for that chain. I nearly fell off my chair. :shock:
I think if you love your sport/hobby youll be prepaired to pay anything in order to better your equipment and yourself.
But the best and dearest doesnt ( nesserselarly ? ) mean your better than than everyone else. I say this because a phew years back i used to go carp fishing. Now i had enough tackle and gear for every eventuality but it was mostly the cheap end of the scale, were as one of my mates was a bit of a tackle tart and all his gear was top quality expensive stuff, but who caught bigger and more carp. Yep me!. Haveing the best doeasnt mean you are the best. :D But if you can afford to get it, you proberbly would.

I know all about that, I paid £1500 for a Mountain Bike back in 1990!
Damn good one it was too, square externally butted frame, clamped forks, Magura hydraulic brakes, Bullseye chainset, XT group.
Long gone now!
(so's the Cyclo-Cross bike)
And then in 1994 I bought a (bonded) Titanium road bike, with a mixture of Ultegra, Campagolo, Ritchey & Flite.
Still got that one
For the past few years I've fancied one of the Trek Carbons - the Lance Armstrong editions, but no way can I justify it.
I'd settle equally for a Merlin titanium

oh yes i can relate to specialist angler kit, i spent hundreds and hundreds.
what about radio control aircraft, now that is expensive, at one point i had 25 planes, nine of which all had radio gear and engines in and were ready to fly 6 others had just engines and the others just needed repairing :lol:
