There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
I got a world class mountain bike for 100€, invested 260€ two years later (rims, chain, stuff).
Yeah it’s from like 1998 but it’s both light and funky as hell :-)
