Same could be said of buying a £500 car and a £50,000 car, each to their own...
They are setting up for the proposed rebate for $1500.....stacked deck (my belief)
True but then again people that pay 50,000 for a car don't complain about price increases.
That was not the point, my reply was to the person who said he could not believe someone would pay $9250 for a bike.
Yup, but the demlse of a L500 car is a considerably less of a loss.
False
If there is a forum for $50,000 cars, someone is going to complain. That's what forums are for isn't it? This forum has gone that way a lot more in the last year or so.
Whole lot more folks gettin hosed these days due to high sales from across the industry. And the DTC outfits ( not all of them ) that offer zero support.
What is the attraction besides getting in with the cool kids? That looks like maybe $3k worth of bike to me. Maybe
If it was $4k and I saw it in a shop and I was in the market ... I might take it for a test ride. But at that price I would not even look at a hardtail no front suspension bike. No frigging way.
To each his own. I wouldn't want much if any suspension in a gravel/road bike. And if I looked at a major manufacturer's e-road bike that had a full carbon frame and fork with carbon wheels and Di2 shifting that also had their best motor and battery, I'd wonder where they were cutting corners if it were priced at $4k. The wheels and groupset retail for almost that much by themselves.
