Brooklyn - $9,000 Road Bike???

I was passing through Brooklyn today and saw a road bike for $9,000 dollars, that is no small price to pay, as a matter of fact that is a giant of a price to pay for a bicycle. One could get a small Hyundai car for that kind of money. Just to confirm, I did a double take to make sure the price was in Dollars and not Rupees, and then looked at the square down tube and wondered - how is a square shape aerodynamic? What happened to round, oval and tear drop shapes? I am starting to think we are being scammed big time with all these gimmicks, dimpled fabrics, dimpled wheels, square tubing. What next dimpled square tubing? Can I pay with dimpled Rupees?






Here is giant thumbs up....errrrr, finger to that price, even the dimpled building in the back ground on Flatbush Ave seems to be agreeing with me.
