What's at stake? Are you riding for something worth five big? Does your ego and
pride of place demand it? Does it give you more fun and gratification than other
things you could spend the $5000 on?

Gee, you ask such silly questions.

More valuable than all of that, human labor.

Fifty dollar bikes suck, they are not reliable or competent.

Now if you had asked the advantage of riding a $5,000 bike over a $1,500 bike
then you'd be getting close to something interesting and possibly important.
But, as I said, you ask silly questions.

Wouldn't think so. Gold is heavy and soft, and diamond is brittle.

Diamonds are brittle??? The diamond is the hardest substance known to
man and is almost 100 times more resistant to scratching than the next
hardest material.

What are we talking about?

Maggie...with Diamonds.

It's all about cleavage, Maggie, but many of us guys already knew
that.

A sharp blow will split/cleave a diamond. Other substances will
deform--rather than split--under similar conditions.

That's pretty much what 'brittle' is.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maggie, there is a difference between hardness and brittleness. Glass is an
example of a fairly hard material, capable of scratching most metals, but it
is brittle. You could easily break a glass tumbler with a wooden mallet.

I'm still looking forward to out ride together. Diamonds are out of the
question--would you accept a wooden gift?

The $50 bike is probably the finest example of bike that all of us
first rode. There is no higher grins/dollar value than the $50 bike.

The $5000 bike is an example of bike that few will ever ride. You are
right, it's made out of unobtainium materials, obscene craftsmanship
and is guaranteed to break as easily as a $50 bike.

Everybody has to start somewhere and $50 is just about right. In
between the $5000 - $50 is the continuum of riders enjoying the grins
they remember from that first bike ride. Some grins are better, cost
more... that's all. Some grins are happy at $50 bucks.

The Ferrari can be safely assumed to contain a jackass.

hard =/ brittle

If diamonds weren't brittle, we wouldn't be able to carve them into all
those fancy shapes people like so much...

I don't know what kind of folk ride a $50 buck unless they are
homeless
collecting a recycle can. Most serious biker in bike lane
riding around several hundred bucks or close to thousand. Even mexican
lower wage walker ride more than $50 bike.

It is for some people if their friends ride $4000 bikes.

[Donn Deniston]

I assumed I was the "clueless top-poster" you were referring to.

If I was wrong, I apologize.
