But the concept of expensive bikes seems foreign to nearly everyone. I bet you most of the public (including a lot of cyclists) aren't even aware that $10,000+ bicycles are a thing.
As a watch lover, I do have one expensive watch. Nobody ever even notices (good thing), and most would not understand. The folks who are likely to notice might be snobs that would call it entre level. There are a lot of watches in the $100,000 + range that are not that expensive due to diamonds being "glued" to them. Bikes, even $10,000 + bikes, are not expensive in comparison to many other passions.
