These links are fair enough and drawing comparison to team sky etc, but how much do you think Bou, Rage or Cabby's bike would cost then if you are gonna go cherry pick the most expensive push bikes.
Don't know and I don't think anyone can put a realistic cost on some of the works machines especially the Montesa/Hondas.

I don't really think the cost of Trials is an issue, yes it's expensive but then most things are. As others have said mountain biking is as expensive, if not more so. Go up Swaledale on a Sunday morning & see the packs of road cyclists, half of them I bet are on bikes costing a load more than a new Trials iron.
Just to back up what Perce has said look at the following:
These are mainstream bikes, custom specials can easily run to 5 figures easily. If you fancy the Team Sky Brad Wiggins replica bike you can have it for £16,500, you can pay £4000 for a pair of carbon wheels!!!Mental!!
Bigfoot's kid does a lot of MTB downhill races I bet he could tell you about some really expensive stuff.
My dad was a pretty good rider through his riding days he had to stop riding from about 68 to 76 for money reasons but when he bought a bulto again in 76 you'd think he'd never been away....old git!!
Anyway, been around trials my whole life first Scottish, I wasn't born but the old man was riding (1966), apparently my mum complained all week about being pregnant and chasing round the Scottish all week - SACRILEGE!! Even when he wasn't riding we'd be at a trial or a scramble every weekend so it's in the blood. I bought a bike as soon as I could afford it, i've had Ossas, an Armstrong a lovely TLR 250 Honda and now my Beta. I don't get to ride much but that's due to work not the lack of desire to ride, mind you I'm garbage at this trials nonsense, better with a good Canon camera
There's nothing beats a good clean or a good blast across some nice open moorland!!
That'll be why your Twatbook page is full of gay Twatbook game updates then?
Thought you didn't look at twatbook ...anyway....only thing you'll see on there that I use is poker, cityville and all the rest of the **** would be Mrs Slapshot building bigger treasure islands farms and cities
i have only just started to get in to trials bikes in the last couple off weeks and i have read so much about every bike that i cant choose. all i wanna know is wat is the best bike to buy if its your first bike and you are a ultimate novice? im 21 and a average body, i got roughly
How Much!
