fuck, and it was a nice one too 

also, parents suck at consulting when it comes down to not being able to buy things. like, nigga, its a fucking telescope. its supposed to gather light, they all do that. newer models dont mean shit.

any items youve missed out on when autioning or whatnot?

This one time I missed out on this gorgeous mail order bride from the phillipines.

i feel like this used to be some email scam

I haven't really "missed out," so much as purchased too early. I once purchased a $2,500 bike and 2 weeks later there were better ones being sold for $1,500.

But yeah, the materials used (particularly for the frames and groupsets) are expensive to manufacture. The pictured bike retails at $10,000 new.

I wouldn't be surprised. My mailbox used to be filled with russian chicks at some point.

No shit though somebody with a lack of marbles actually suggested I look around on sites and fly a nice phillipino lady over.

I got an email from Muamar Gaddafi's wife apparently

holy shit

Mother of God... that thing better be all Ti and CF.

Carbon Frame, Forks, Wheels and Handlebars, Duralumin (basically alloy) Gearing/groupset and instead of a cable and pulley system the gears have an electric motor to change them.
