Re: Audi Quattro Mountain Bike?

It is one hell of a bike. Full suspension & aluminum frame. It lists for $3300
in the Audi Boutique catalog. The only reason not to buy it is that Porsche
sells a similar bike in their catalog for a $1000 or two more, but it has
hydraulic calipers on cross drilled disc brakes that look (and work I'm sure)
beautiful. Maybe someday....
