    1k for a new high quality bike has been normal for 10-15 years. Anything beyond that has hugely diminishing returns.

    If you want everything for a full shimano 105 set, that alone will cost you like 600$ or more. Then you still need a frame and wheels and saddle etc

    Buying used is really the best play with bikes.

      I don’t think I ever had that much disposable income to spend on a bike at the same time as living where I could commute to work on a bike.
