I was checking out ebay and couldn't resist admiring this one:
 And if you look real close, there's not 1 but 2 bikes in the picture too!

Yeah, two bikes. But those aren't what I want to ride.

Here is a pic of my P-bike. I bought it for our Son for this Christmas. I think I paid $15 for it.
 I wanted to get him a tractor but couldn't find one that was under $100.

Ok, now Ferrari has a bicycle. It seems pricey for the components....
Is this worth it? I am sure I could get 10x the bike for the same money. Ferrari CX 60 bicycle - Ferrari Store

I owned a bike shop for about 25 years near a Porsche dealership and worked on a few of those bikes. The one in the ad is hammered, maybe 40-200 mile rides. The geometry wasn't that great and it's heavy if you're going to use it for cross country type riding. Everythings outdated and unlike car manufacturers the bike industry doesn't provide replacement parts very long. We stopped repairing most forks after the Rock Shox Jetsons era and nowadays unless it's an expensive big hit fork the shops just replace them because of the labor required and the hassles getting parts for entry and average forks isn't worth the bother. Also the shop doesn't want the customers to think its the shops fault if parts take a long time or never arrive. Unless you're a bike mechanic with a good eye to be able to determine if that frame is bent then the bike is worth whatever you'd be willing to pay for the head tube badge at a swap meet unless you already have another trashed one and might be able to build one worn out bike that works out of the two .

If you want a bike with Ferrari stickered on it, buy a Colnago.
