Just thumbing through the latest WhatMTB... spotted some Crank Brothers Triple Ti pedals at £295!!! Gotta be the most outrageously priced components I've ever seen....
Does seem a tad over the top. Although when I was younger Campag were pretty ridiculous and you needed the specific Campag tool to go with it too ! I think they still make corkscrews for about £70.
Evans have a Park toilet roll holder for a tenner I think. Also a pizza slice for 6 or something like that. If this is not daft cycling kit I don't know what is.
On a road bike I put together in 1989, I paid £250 for a set of Campag Delta brakes, they don't have ergo gear shifters, but they still look dead sexy and I love 'em to bits....
It was Roche using them that they became a "must have". To be honest, the old set of picolo records a la Bernard Hainault work better and they're a pain in the posterior to keep clean...

They are the prettiest brakes I've ever seen. Although those Modolo Kronos were pretty cute too.
Er, do they work ?
and i thought cateye stadiums were pricey.
Shimano's Saint Gruppo should have an amusing prce tag methinks.
only £1300!
How many moving parts inside though ?
