Thanks!
Yes, I’ve talked to a few folks who last bought an aluminum / Performance Elite / GX level bike some 3-5 years ago (all the adjustments, all of the performance, none of the Gucci factor) who can’t believe how much they’ve gone up in this time (even compared to other things). Many factors contributing, of course, but it can be tough to swallow all the same.
I’ve been having the $2500 hardtail discussion a fair bit lately. That’s a lot of money! But it tends to put you past the major pitfalls/shortcomings.
