True... but over the winter I purchased a second hand Scott CR1 full carbon with Sram Rival. It was 17# and I was rather unimpressed.. .so i sold it and got what i paid for it.
Its safe to assume that lighter bikes cost more. And that the parts are of a higher quality.
But all that matters is they you are happy with what you can afford.
I've been asked if I found a bike I enjoyed more than my current at half the price, what would i do. My answer is, i'd sell my current bike, buy the new bike and pocket the cash.
