Well, I wouldn’t ride a $600 bike because it’ll have cheap components.

My road bike is over $1,500.

The 2018 Cannondale Super Six is $11,000, I wish I could swing that though I test drove a 2015 back in 2016

You can get a used one for less than three hundred pounds. It has been in existence for ages.

Whiteman's world feels like sci-fi movies you guys watch,they are always innovating and making improvements in their everyday lives,while the reverse is our case.

First of all buy your own bicycle and learn how to ride I was like that too until I bought bicycle at 30+ and learnt within 1 week; today I can travel with the bicycle to Abeokuta. I usually prefer travelling long distance bicycling.
nicey. I told someone the other day, that's it takes more gut to ride on the road with a bicycle than it is to drive a car for the first time on the road.

To me, cycling on the road where the moving cars are going fast can put huge fear in you as a beginner. But when you overcome this fear, driving a car wouldn't even scare you one bit.

On the road, someone with a $600 bike could outrun you with metres ahead.
Yes one bike cost more than the other, carbon fibre, disc brakes and all of that.

But the thrill of every bicycle is how fast you can push it. In terms of power output, I am certain the $1500 wouldn't be so high from the $600bike or even $200 bike

True thing @bold.
But the price is not affordable (in Nigeria) as the OP said. Even if used ones are being sold for 200 pounds, that is still alot of money in Nigeria

It’s okay.

I used to think like you before getting into the hobby.

Experience is a great teacher.

Peace.

Egunmogaji as long as my bike is made up of Carbon fibre, lightweight and its a road bike and it has a good average speed gear atleast
all I would be concerned about is my cadence and not the price.
I am not saying a more expensive bike doesn't have other features, all I am saying is a more expensive bike doesn't translate to a faster cyclist.

In cycling, especially road bikes I am all about how fast I am going!
doing 80RPM on a $10,000 bike will still leave you at the bottom of a cycling group.

Excellent, you’ve got it all figured out.

Happy trails grin

PS: “I” still would never buy a $600 bike based on my 20 years experience in the hobby.
