Nobody has asked. My measly $570 hybrid bike doesn't exactly catch attention

I am shocked at how much some of you guys have spent. I would love to spend that much but my other half would freak. I've been drooling over an Eddy Merckx that would come in at $1500 then thinking... nahhhh he'd kill me He has told me he wants me to buy one at around half that. Who thinks he's being unreasonable
