You just reminded me why I hate much of the "modern" bike scene. One comforting thought is that I don't think anyone will ever sell a $23,000 bike here in a small town in West Texas. Or $2,300. Most people here would consider a $230 bike extravagant.

I'm surprised this didn't come up earlier (if it did, I missed it). A story from last week's New York Times answers the question about what type of fine spirits to be drinking while getting fitted for a $23,000 bike. Somehow I get the feeling that none of these guys could even change out a flat tire, much less appreciate the performance advantages of something like titanium or $5,000 wheels.
Anyhow, enjoy.
