minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI once asked a friend of mine why he spends £90 on fancy branded T-shirts and a £1500 watch. He said it was so he didn’t have to walk down the street and see somebody else wearing one. So it’s mostly that. It’s not $15k of bike. It’s $15k of wanting to have something nice other bike people will see and think “that’s a nice bike”.
