2K isn't that much for a bike

Actually, it is.

And don't get your spandex in a knot. I know bikes can easily fetch more than that.
But to say it isn't that much?

The worst golfers I know have the most expensive clubs.
Anyone can justify a cost if they want to.
Doesn't mean it "isn't that much".

Meh. Lots of generalizations there but it's pretty easy to go over 2k on a bike. And while some of The worst golfer do you know may use the most expensive clubs some of the best golfers in the world do as well

All that aside particularly for a millionaire a 2k bike isn't that big a deal I'm no millionaire and I've got a few I just don't think that expensive of a bakers a big deal but it's all relative that said you and Mr. Jones are having a symbiotic moment Who am I to get in the way

I hate voice recognition Not going to fix it though it's funnier this way

I wouldn't buy a road bike under a grand anyway I look at it and two grand is about the right spot to start

5k is a lot of money. 5k is not a lot to spend on a car.

It depends what you want it to do.

My commuter bike back in 2006 was 1.5k... and that didn't even have disc brakes.

My step sons race a 6 year old that has a 6,500 bike. And he's not fast at all......we have about $500 into their bikes (bmx)

No doubt a good bike won't make a sloth a good rider. But it will make similar folks appreciably better.

On my good road bike I could coast about as fast as some could grind.

Tech is tech. Upgrading to a 1k set of wheels bought me a couple mph. Best bike purchase ever.

I had a neighbor a few years ago who raced. He had bike frames that cost over 5k.

But tailgater's point is still valid. To most people, 2k for a bicycle is excessive.

I had about a 3K bike I never locked up. The trick was to purposely uglify the frame (had a buddy with a body shop "weather" it with ugly paint) and take the seat and a wheel inside with you. Never got touched.

one of my favorite bikes.

TW always gets bent regarding bikes.

For the vast majority of Americans, a bicycle is an affordable investment. For leisure or for transportation or for sport.

$2000 is WAY more than most should spend.

$2000 is also much too low for serious enthusiasts and for those who wish to be snobs. Not mutually exclusive, by the way.

If TW wants to spend over $2k, that's his business.
But think how much he would spend if it included a seat?

Actually I assume they were not their own bikes and were rented... I dunno. Never really went to the story. If that is the case, I would EXPECT that level of bike or better.

That said, it's been awhile since I looked but for most 2K would be a bit high for a roadbike but I would beware of anything under 1k 1.2 to 1.5 is about the sweet spot... or used to be.

Mountain bikes were always cheaper but I think that may have changed somewhat.

2K is certainly not excessive



meh... buy what you want and don't judge others for buying what they want.
