While my bike was 300 and I like to say that anything above 500 is too much; I do have acquaitance with a man with a 1500€ bike that has acquaintance with a person with a 30k€ bike Dx
Don’t know about too much, but more than necessary perhaps. Mine was £600, probably didn’t need to go that expensive but I use it a lot so its hardly a bad choice either.
Then again, got over £200 in accessories with just the ortlieb XL pannier bags. I cycle to work every day, so arguably its pretty easy to justify spending a fair bit. If I took the bus that would cost over £1k a year. So even that €1.5k bike is fairly easy to justify compared to bus prices if you want a decent bike.
I meant more in the sense of how much the price increase of bikes doesn’t match the quality increase proportionally. I’m very roughly estimating where biking instead of any motorisation is what I generally commend in any case, even the money save thanks to it aside

Unless it was a custom build or something from a luxury automotive brand, that seems unlikely.
It was either or one of those to, yes, I remember the conversation rather vaguely to be quite honest, the absurd price is what stuck the most to me
