Both camps are right!

Cheap bikes just don't ride nowhere as nicely nor do they last as expensive bikes do.

BUT! The worst thing about owning an expensive bike is owning an expensive bike.

It's a thief magnet and source of envy of other riders.

You really need to find a sweet spot between a quality bike and being able to leave it locked in the city without having pangs of anxiety of it being stolen.

Bike recycling is probably the answer. Cheaper, worse looking, but you can often find high quality parts and frames and repair it yourself
