The following is a GENERAL guide and isn't always accurate...but it's helpful and is often accurate...

If it has a kickstand, it's probably low end
If it weighs over 27 pounds and isn't a touring bike, it's probably low end
If it has suicide brake levers, it's probably low end
If it has shifters on the stem, it's probably low end
You are a freakin' mind reader. There were maybe 3 or 4 decent bikes, one that might fit me, all overpriced. Just row after row of suicide brakes and stem shifters. An hour drive each way for nothing. Oh well...
