Haha, I know that from working at a bike shop and owning a lot of race bikes that I’m a bit of a bike snob, but those are garrrbage. Not to mention that the people who assemble them dont know their ass from a seatpost.

Retail price:  
\<250 = shit  
250-400 = good casual use bike  
400-800 = good entry level bike for a more serious rider  
800-1500 = high quality, intermediate/advanced use bike  
1500-2500 = race quality  
2500-7000+ = pro quality

A full suspension bike at any given price will have the same componentry and overall quality as a hardtail bike that is $200-300 cheaper.
