i agree with unterhausen
around 2000 or 2500 bucks you get a bike that is practically the equal
of anything pricier
for that amount you can get a full carbon frame and fork
with 105 or maybe ultegra
or the sram or campy equivalents
from a number of manufacturers
i think the electronic shifting starts at a slightly higher price
but that is not something that typically makes a bike measureably better
spending 5000 or above
you will get a damn fancy bike
but you arent going to go any further with the same amount of effort
compared to a 2500 dollar bike
