    Some of the above makes them look cheap.

    The ultimate hub gear.

    If you 'need' one you'll find the money - one day.

    Very. When you can have a carbon quest for £6k or a Milan for £7k, how could anyone justify three times more?!?

    The two aforementioned of course cost around a quarter of the average UK new car price, and cost almost nothing to run - making them extremely frugal compared with a second car.

    (Or, since I worked it out for fun, a carbon Quest velomobile is equal to 4 years, 2 months' train fare back on the long commute... longer than I'd expect to be in one workplace, but you can always move to be further from the office!)
