As someone who started on $500 dollar bikes 25 years ago and has slowly increased my threshold for bike spending over the years, I'm not as phased by pricing. There's a reason Kia, Honda, Mercedes, and Ferrari are all still in business, there are buyers at all price points. If I think bikes ever get too expensive, I'll be just as happy riding a steel single-speed hardtail. The bike looks solid, however, the weight is slightly surprising. As someone who "overbuilt" a Transition Spur and ended up with it around 28.5lbs, I'm just coming to realize that the tricky thing...
