> Around here used steel frame bicycles from the 80s I mean that's not any kind of comparison. Sure, I sold my steel frame hybrid from 1992 for $120 recently, it was still a great bike. But not comparable a new bike from today. That said, the prices for new bike are insane and I don't fully understand why they are well over $10K. The prices of those other two wheelers, motorcycles, are far cheaper even though they contain far more mechanical complexity! The MSRP for a Kawasaki Ninja 400 is $4300, so how can a bicycle cost $10K-$15K!
