@stark @Diplomjodler3 yeah, there's an element of that: a $10k superbike isn't as good for getting the shopping as a $500 city bike, if getting the shopping is all you're doing. I'm more talking about performance bikes for enthusiast cyclists here, be they roadies/mtbers/gravel riders/whatever. I've reviewed a *lot* of bikes over the years, and for the most part you genuinely do get what you pay for, but with diminishing returns the more you spend.
