I commented this exact issue in a recent article here in NSMB, I believe it
was a piece from Cam. The price slope gets steeper once you want to climb from
the lowest step, and given the amount of progression kids are having nowadays
it would be hard for them to (properly) maintain a bike of a certain quality.
I recall I put out the dilemma of buying an expensive bike (for a kid),
busting his ass working and spending three grand or more to have components
which would resist the beating only to find every time something breaks/wears
out it takes a fair amount of money to replace it, or getting an entry level
model, knowing you will have to replace/upgrade cheaper parts more often.
