Differences between mid range road bike and high end?
Hey everyone,
I currently have a mid range Specialized bike priced around $1500 and I'm very happy with it. I see bikes that are in the $6000- $10 000 range and I wonder what makes them so expensive and what advantages do they bring?
If you compare the raw material cost of a $2000 bike and a $8000 bike there isn't too much difference raw material wise besides light sacrifices of weight. However maybe there's more to it then I'm not seeing.
1. List all the advantages of a $6000+ bike over a $1500-$2000 bike
2. What exactly makes a $6000+ bike so expensive and what sort of performance gains should you expect to gain to justify the cost?
