He’s talking about someone whose “budget” could cover paying for electronic shifting (+$2000?) and to swap that out for a (likely) expensive mechanical set.
He mentioned "sad". He was replying to another poster about people buying the bike they wanted when they were younger, meaning an old bike (C&V, if you wish).
I didn't get the reference and posted that I should have bought more bikes before I retired, and I meant new bikes.
