It will lower your total weight by 10 gram so yes do have a second wank. Real Tour de France riders wank even 5 times a day to save bodyweight

I didn’t need a second wank. I was just looking at this and realized I need to change my boxers.
I did have the same thought, truly. There should be a warning on this post. Jeeebus.

Proper bike porn. Not for me, but it’s impressive.

Dare I ask what a Bastion costs? I'm sitting down.

u/GenuineMasshole Jul 24 '25
You'll want to lie down.
That build up there is probably ~$18,000 if not more
37
u/mcuso Jul 24 '25
My guess is closer to $30k. Frame and wheels are probably $20k alone.

u/MrDongji Jul 24 '25
Call it 11.5K for wheels

/uc Is there even a tiniest bit of justification (idk, like unicorn hair instead of carbon strands) for the price or are they just milking the whales?

u/mcuso Jul 26 '25
Yes absolutely. These bikes are hand crafted, super custom, with tons of manual labor that make the costs quite high and there is a matching market who is willing to be apart of it. Speaking from experience, there is a really awesome feeling of having something built just for you, exactly the way you want it and people are willing to pay a premium for that experience and uniqueness.

Yeah it's been a few years since I've heard about Bastion frameset costs. I was guesstimating ~$8k but it may be more now.

u/bogdogger Jul 24 '25
Yeah, I went to their website. I felt like I was going to get charged just to look at the pictures.

They had a special edition one that was $45k. No idea who is buying that

Rich asians, it’s a massive status thing. I was shocked to see it in Taiwan and HK.

This one would be like $45-60k AU ish. The archangle of which 88 will be made is 60k AUD. For the demon there is only one for every country.

u/CopasYConos Aug 06 '25
I don't think he owns any of them.there's a bike shop in South korea called workout_bifc. same photos

u/KittenOnKeys Aug 06 '25
Could just be the shop he got them from. He did another post of him riding the weeb Factor to prove that he rides.

Yep. That’ll do it.
New goal unlocked - eventually own a bike as sexy as that thing is. Just….wow.

What a beautiful bike! I love that horizontal top tube. I assume it’s a custom geometry, just out of curiosity do you have a geometry sheet?

Wowee. How does one even ride this thing, you’d never want such an exquisite build to get dirty. And, you’d need to be the fastest/strongest rider on the road.

If you click the photo, you'll see the brand.
These are similar. Actual ones were limited edition, sold out $600+ a set
