Well you don't see these very often and especially not at the asking this price:

To be fair it is new and unused, has a Roberts frame and it is dripping with XTR and a Cooks crankset.

But £10,000...?
 
Car makers branding on bikes doesn't do it for me. Remove the Aston name and get gil to make some nice Roberts decals. Then interested. £10K for a Yeti, Klein.... if i collected Yeti or others then yes. If i had that sort of money to spend

Same here, as long as it involves rebadged versions of normal bikes. On things like the BMW Q6S it's a different story though.
 
Very nice bike, price is ludicrous. But then again for rich Aston fan and owner maybe not. Easy to spend +10k on watch why not on bike. It's a luxury/snobbery league rather than cycling passionate like us.

I bet that short arse owner as saddle position may suggest have no clue about components and don't care who's Roberts.
 
Read a thread in an automotive forum about mechanic replacing an engine in a DB9. Apparently not in warranty, engine running like a bag of bolts with a serious case of the DTs, and a whole load of shaking and knocking going on.

From what was written, the engine had been run dry of oil, and 7 litres of the stuff didn't make it run any better. Owner obviously hadn't checked. Is that a case of the rich and shameless being oblivious or deliberately out-of-touch to reaffirm their elitism, or somebody over extended and couldn't afford to maintain it?

A new block? 15k of your finest pounds, sterling, apparently. Presumably labour on top of that.
