    In recent memory there was the Bianchi Ducati Corse which I think
    was around $15K, but I can't remember if that was AUD. May have actually
    been USD.

    But in that case price doesn't reflect quality. It reflects the willingness
    of buyers to pay that much and/or the level of profit desired by the
    manufacturer/seller.

    I had a Peugot for quite a while - great bike. Totalled it by riding down St
    Kilda rd in torrential rain. The council kindly put a barrier across the
    cycling lane with no lights.

    Look up... Head out of the rain... Look up... Head out of the rain... Loo...
    Sssshhh!!!!!ttttttt!!!!!!

    Hit it with my road bike, bent the front wheel in half, the frame had
    crumple zones, broke the wooden barrier in two. Flipped over the front of
    the bike and landed on my [censored]!
