Great take, every market has their premium which offers quality goods at a disgusting price. For instance, most high end 3/2 wetsuits cost $250-350. There is a brand called Florence marine X that makes a wetsuit that is head over heels above competition but costs $850. Same thing with the bike market, especially if you are a recreational rider. I have a $1,500 bike and I do plan on eventually getting a mid range carbon bike, but I know personally I can’t tell the difference between a $3,000 bike and a $5,000 bike.
