That's very true. I was at my LBS last week, drooling over a Trek Madone 5.5, then a Look 586 (?) which was all Campy.

The Look was $9,000.

The Trek was a more digestible (yeah, right!) $4,600.

Both were light (15lbs), and assuming what I know about bicycles, fast enough to get you in some very serious trouble.

But to get to your point, Jim: the LBS also had a replica of the Pinarello Prince ridden by 2008 Tour de France winner, Carlos Sastre. The rig was loaded with Campy Carbon Super Record, including an 11-speed cassette, carbon wheels, etc., etc.

Price: $15,000

Please...I'd be afraid to ride that thing.
