I think you get her when you get the bike. Takes the sting out of the 4000 dollar price.

Hitting on a girl at the bar:
"I have a Maserati"
"Oh really?"
"I hope you have a big trunk; I'm putting my bike in it".

$40 crankset on a $4000+ bike. Yeah, that makes sense; let me whip out my checkbook!

I even picked mine up on sale, $29. The Velomine guy took me back in the warehouse, they just arrive in a big box in plastic bags. I had quite the chuckle when you pointed out this component.
