There is, dont buy overpriced bikes.  
I mean… price is dictated by consumer demand. last few years we had an artificial and not sustainable demand for bikes. All companies jump into increasing prices blaming supply issues.  
The supplies issues are mostly gone now, but prices are still high. Now they are all blaming inflation (caused by all companies raising their prices and refusing to lower them).  
Its all a sham. They want more money. People are willing to pay it. They will push prices till they break.

anyway. ill get down from my soap box.
