- Can you expand with a definition?
Seeing as Spesh offers the Allez starting around $1200 USD, then Tarmac & Roubaix around mid $2k prices. Giant starts below those prices at around $1k or less for the Contend then heads to a similar price range for carbon TCR and Contends.
Those are generally representative of what I see in other brands for the pure entry-level road bike up to the entry-level carbon race or endurance ranges. You also mention “reasonable price” and that is a loaded phrase since it is largely open to interpretation from a person’s budgetary constraints combined with priorities and preferences.
All that fuzzy stuff aside, the current price range I see in these entry-level bikes seems to jive with inflation for the same bikes I saw roughly 10 years ago that ran around the $700-2000 split for the bikes covered above.
