Not to familar but I’m assuming it’s Titanium. Also appears to be Campy. It’s a boutique bike with a boutique price.

Boutique frame handmade in Italy with Campy group and carbon wheels is always going to be expensive, especially with tariffs

are you in north Texas? I can’t find any references to it outside of the Bike Mart website. Says its aluminum so who the hell knows why its priced like that.

This is not real (not saying it’s ai, just it must be mis priced or some sort of scam). No ones paying 13 large for this aluminium framed road bike.
That’s a £50 seat post! (Which is suspicious cheap…)

Seems like a lot of money for an aluminum frame with Chorus drivetrain. I’m pretty sure you could get a Merlin custom Ti with Record for that price.

It’s an aluminium frame, 7075, so pretty high end as it’s a pain to bond usually since it can’t be welded. Plus campag just to add onto the price tag

$13k for an alu frame with analogue gearing and a Deda seat post? F**k that.

High end Aluminium frame and mid tier mechanical Campag? Someone is trying to pull a fast one.

It’s so ugly. I hate that frame, if you’re gonna price a generic Alu bike that high at least make it look good. That head tube is literally disgusting.

All the Italian words add +100% price

Because someone will probably pay that much.

Someone accidentally stuck an extra 0 on it by accident? $13,000 is absolutely fucking insane.
Because when the shop drops the price to half off, people will think that it is a good deal.

I’ll give ya tree fiddy take it or leave it.
But like seriously what does that do that another $€£300 ally bike dosnt?
Edit, for 13k you could buy a real ducati motorcycle that’d do alot more than this generic commuter bike.

Lucati sounds like a Chinese brand name knock-off of a Ducati

Because no other dentist in your zip code is likely to have one. Yet.

Something isn’t adding up – even with the potential of Tarriffs adding a lot to the price. There is basically zero information about Lucati online, their website seems shoddy. Looks like something an American would make if they wanted to make an Italian bike company. Can’t use Ducati, but we can with an L!
Something smells off.

No self respecting Italian would rip off Ducati like that, right down to the font.

Just wanted to enphasize that as far as I could tell, this bike had a MECHANICAL drivetrain.

Why did they had to rip off the font of Ducati, the Italian motorcycle brand?

Just get a Moots at that price

Jesus I had to research this one. This brand is very very small coming out of Italy. They are building frames using 7075 Aluminum, which is ultra rare in the bike world.
You can’t weld 7075, the tubes are very expensive, a number of tube develop cracks during frame production. Every frame using this is going to be custom. I found only CNC frames and proprietary bonding methods using this and that was like 2 brands.
The last time I heard of 7075 being used was Cannondale back in the 90s and those frames were insanely expensive for the time. There was or is a German brand doing CNC that might use 7075, but those bike frames cost more than my custom Moots.

This is an aluminum frame with a solid but not incredible mechanical group set. This bike should be like $3000, not $13000.

when you are a retailer or have something to sell personally, you can set the price to whatever it is that you want, that doesnt mean that the product will sell at that high of a price. for example i have some old semi worn kool stop cantilever pads from the 90s, i think theyre cool so i list them at 99.99. now no one in their right mind is even gonna pay for shipping on those much less the 99.99.
