I just spot checked a bike (Salsa Fargo). Was $1750 in 2012 and is $2650 now. I didn't compare the components to see if they are fancier than they used to be.

I just spot checked a bike (Salsa Fargo). Was $1750 in 2012 and is $2650 now. I didn't compare the components to see if they are fancier than they used to be. At a very cursory glance, looks like the price is up 50% in 10 years.
