A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Bikes can reasonably get to 1.5k at least without things getting too absurdly overpriced. If there's a trade in it would at least be for bikes in that range.

$1.5k is still not a very expensive bike. Only at the low end of "non trash components".

True, but I don't want to scare the carbrains. :P

Honestly though yes. My pretty basic road bike was 1600 and that was one of the lower prices in the shop. I think they averaged at around 5-8k in that shop at least.
