These prices are commanded because the best marketing is what the pros ride . Of course, 99% of the cycling population does not need what a pro needs but that's never stopped anyone from wanting what the pros ride. It's just the way it is.

BTW, are there any other KOF builders other than Richard Sachs that sponsor s a pro (I think it's a pro) team?
