I typed that out thinking that was what it had cost, but then i thought about it some more and it may have only have been like 6000€ or something, definitely a high end roadbike.
edit: i also was kinda skeptical what he claimed for his average speed, but turns out he was not exagerating, he ‘proved’ it by having a meeting with a co worker of mine somewhere further away and then rode to our office with his bike while my co worker drove his car back, i calculated his route and it must have been something like 33 km/h.
I served with a guy who did road biking, and 33km/h seems reasonable for a commute. Kinda not surprised at the 6000 euro price tag. Road bike tend to be expensive.
While I don’t think someone would commute on a bike that expensive, I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question.
