Hygienist-bikes...that's funny! I don't know. I am not flashy and prefer durability and simplicity. I would not describe myself as a miser, but I tend to always consider cost to benefit ratios when it comes to bigger ticket discretionary spending. I've ridden a number of bikes that go for more than $10k and could not for the life of me feel like I was getting that much more fun/performance out of them versus something for less. Lastly, I've long said that riders can find exactly what they are looking for significantly less if they are smart shoppers, flexible and patient. I live by the mantra that retail is for schmucks and Christmas shoppers.
