Is this for the frame or the whole bike?

Kathmandu, Nepal With Sacred Rides
Why do you guys think that the word "flaunting" means "make one feel like shit" it means to show off. Nobody ever said anything about this trip being a bad thing. Tom just said that they were showing off a bit and I was angry at cyrix for planting the idea that you can't do it without showing off. You would be wrong to look down on the people who had the opportunity to do this trip, but you would also be wrong to think that you NEED expensive bikes to do it.

I think your misinterpreting me, I support the idea, but cyrix acts as though you NEED expensive equipment to do this sort of thing. I just think that by showing people things they will NEVER afford your not doing a very good job of spreading the sport to new places. I even said that i like what these guys did. What i don't like is how some people think that this expensive way is the ONLY way.

Oh shit? God forbid they ride bikes that are a whole decade old. So spending thousand of dollars to ship a bike to Nepal and ride there isn't flaunting wealth? I ride a 97' cannondale and those kids would be fascinated by even that. It cool to be able to take this kind of adventure, but by all means don't try and act like there's no way to do it more appropriately than walking a 3 thousand dollar bike through an impoverished community....
