We are certainly addicted to cheap products. So, yeah, a $400 bike will not displace completely the $99 Wallyworld special. But, people are not dumb. Some will recognize its value. I think it would sell just fine.
Lets let gas prices cycle back up for a couple of more summers and see what people think of such a bike.
