Yeah, bike prices have increased quite a bit these days, I bought my first "proper" MTB, a Giant Trance3 2005 with LX drivetrain, DukeXC fork, Float shock, Hayes So1e brakes and some meah i19 wheels for $1400 US. Saying that, a Deore build from today, would perform almost as good as an SLX or even XT from years gone by, things are that good now.
