Went to the Trek site and saw this: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/...9-xx1-axs-gen-2/p/35773/?colorCode=orange_red
How is a pedal bike $10,000 on sale? Even if it is carbon and axs and kashima, how can people spend that type of money on a bike? All 5 of my bikes add up to like half that.

This is how i feel about anyone spending over 2k on a bike.
That bike has a 250 w hr batt that is good enough maybe for very light assist for 2 hours. At 35lbs there is your light weak bike for everyone who wanted it.
Speaking of cars what is with these razr ATV's how much are they that they are everywhere. Where is all this toy money coming from i thought we were in an impending recession? Are they getting written off by farms?

Discounting is an incorrect word here. Resetting prices back to pre-Covid is more accurate. A $5,000 MTB has just gone back to being a $5,000 MTB.
It's too bad your employer sold me those $5000 bikes for $6000 last year.

My Employer is not nice to people.
That'S OK....They will tell you that, while you are loSing money on every Single one, you'll make up for it in volume! Have Fun!

Someone has to pay for my bikes, and I’d rather it not be me 😂

Huh, I'm still waiting on an ESP that I ordered a year ago. I guess they're waiting for the tree to grow so that they can harvest it and make my guitar.

ESP Japan or USA? My rough understanding is the backlog at the Japanese shop is why they created the USA shop (which is surprisingly less expensive).
It amuses me how I bought my ESP Horizon back in the early 90's for cheap when nobody wanted "shredder" style guitars.

Japanese version. From what I'm told they revised everything to stainless steel frets and Fishman pickups, which of course inexplicably adds time.
