Yes, one of the bikes (the cheapest, costing $2700) is in the importer's
shop here in Holland (Remember, Eric R and Ingo?). Nice bikes. They're also
in Audi's German accessories brochure, and I have a brochure for an older
model.

Don't count on it- unless you can get sprung alu-frame high-tech bikes with
hydraulic brakes (on the more expensive of the two) at Wal-Mart for $99...
in which case I'll come shopping soon.

Custom-made for Audi, but it doesn't say by whom. All high-priced parts on
it, though.

in there somewhere)
