Yestarday I was at the bike shop to fix some issues in my mountain bike. While I was waiting the mechanic to fix and set up some new accessories in my mountain bike I made a tour inside the Probike shop that distributes Specialized, a famous mountain bike brand.
I knew that there were some bikes very expensive, but never as expensive as almost 8,000€ … more than a car!!!
Here is the picture of the mentioned mountain bike:

When you look at it what is your first thought?. Mine was I probably never (even if a could afford buying it) will ride it hitting it against rocks… what a painful experience, don’t you think?
I tweeted it and quickly a follower replied me saying they would ride it without any consciencious problem because he would insure it and in case the mountain bike was damaged, insurence company would pay for it.
May be that thought it correct, but even if all the damages would be covered by the insurance company, I still think I could not ride it. Why?, that’s the question… and here are some personal and respectful points to those who have this or similar expensive bikes:
1. Because I do not need it (I do not need or feel to need such expensive mountain bike). Probably it means I’m not the target for that bike.
2. Because I have a value damage limit in my mind that blocks me to purchase expensive products that potentially me be damaged by their normal use. This is the case, and my limit is very low, potentially no more than 1,500€
3. Finally, I think in life having had a minimum quality achieved, good feelings and experience is more mental than physical. I think if you want to make yourself happy it better to do not compare and enjoy what you have as the best option for you (this applies also in general in our daily life behaviour).
Now, what do you think about a mountain bike of 8,000€ (around $10,100 USD).
