I guess no one else is amazed by all the expensive shiny new bling? The cassette is a pretty amazing work of art, they say it takes 9 hours to mill it.

I guess that's why it costs $328!

I personally don't see the need for all the ultra lightness or 10 speeds in the rear, but innovation is cool.

It's nice looking stuff but as a newbie $328.00 is half of what I paid for my first bike MTB last year.

Yeah, and that's just for the cassette. The whole setup (not including suspension) runs around $2400.
