Back street whores are cheap, but high class escorts are better.

can't understand the obsession with carbon bikes, fair enough if you're very very wealthy but if you're just middling a 1k/2k steel or alu bike would suit your needs very well.

At least insult people in a grammatically correct manner!

I don't own any carbon or 5k bikes by the way, sorry to disappoint!

Aww your bike costs less than a rim, how quaint.

What about my soon to arrive, nearly £9k one? How will it compare to the £6k one? Or to my £3k road bike? Where does my £25 one fit in? Or my single speed on one?

I r confused.

Yes I believe some of the peasants still have to resort to this. Cannot believe people are prepared to spend as little as 5k on a bike. That's not enough for a decent desert wine.
