It’s been a little while since we’ve caught up with Colony‘s Front Brake Magician, Bobbie Altiser, so we were stoked to find out he was dialing in a new bike when we hit him up the other day. We figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at his bike and find out what else he has been up to lately! You better believe this machine is dialed in with both brakes, two pegs and a freecoaster and ready for some crazy riding. Get a look at this bike!

We were stoked on the news so we figured there would be no better time than now for a fresh Bike Check. So, let’s take a look at this fresh Standard setup decked out with The Daily Grind and BSD parts, then we’ll find out what else is new with Zack! Ready? Let’s do this!

Yesterday we posted up The Most Expensive Complete BMX Bike which came in at $1,099.99 for a price tag. That got us thinking, what would be the most expensive BMX bike you could build if you took the most expensive parts from Dan’s Comp and compiled it into one bike… Well, we had a little free time so we decided to give it a whirl and you might be surprised on this one, haha. This is the most expensive custom built BMX bike we could compile as of December 24th, 2015. Let’s get to “shopping”!
Have you ever had a random question pop up in your head right when you’re trying to go to bed, and you end up thinking about it so much that you end up pulling out your phone and doing some research online? Last night, not sure why, but the question “I wonder what the most expensive complete BMX bike is for 2016?” came to mind and it stuck to me. We had a pretty decent idea of a few of the higher end bikes, but were still curious to know. So, after a couple searches on a few different retailers and it was pretty easy to figure out just what bike holds the highest price tag for this year.
Traditionally, complete BMX bikes are thought of as inexpensive bikes that are designed for the entry to mid-level rider that isn’t quite ready to go all in on a custom after market build that pretty much every experienced rider owns. Over the course of the past few years, with the progression of the quality of complete bikes, we’ve seen some really dialed higher end bikes pop up on pretty much every company’s list of options for bikes they offer.
Although BMX bikes don’t cost anywhere near what some high end road and mountain bikes cost (You could buy about 13 of the most expensive BMX bikes for the price of one of the high end road bikes that are available — and that’s not even top of the line), it’s still a pretty interesting number.
What did we find out? Well, although it was some what close with a few other bikes (Not including race bikes, which have a few options more expensive than the freestyle bikes), the 2016 Wethepeople Envy beats out the Dennis Enarson signature Haro SD V2, Chad Kerley signature Premium CK and Sunday Bikes Gary Young signature Soundwave complete by about $100. The Envy comes in at $1,099.99 and it comes fully loaded. The next question that came to mind, if we parted out the most expensive bike since it’s mostly after market parts from Wethepeople and Eclat, what would the total cost be? Let’s find out…
We also decided to find out what the most expensive custom built bike would be. Check that out here: The Most Expensive Custom BMX Bike?
