Cyclechat guide to pricing cliches.
If the bike (or other product) costs more than you paid for your bike (or similar product): "A fool and their money are easily parted"
or
If the the bike (or other product) costs less than you paid for your bike (or similar product): "Buy cheap, buy twice".
If the bike (or other product) costs about the same as you paid for your bike (or similar product), then it's fantastic value for money.
This applies to lots of things.
Take domestic cleanliness.
Anyone whose house is much cleaner than mine is far too precious, houses are for living in, don't you know?
But anyone whose house is grubbier and untidier than mine needs to get a grip and brush up on their cleaning routine.
Needless to say, anyone who keeps their house as I do has struck the correct balance.
