$650? That should go in the wacky thread.

Some sort of Hipster locking it up thing? I thought about a grab point for walking it but who grabs a bike there? It also doesn't seem like a good location for hanging
It seem way over priced anyway, you can get a few nice Bianchis or Bertonis for that kind of money.
