Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If you're renting a mansion maybe. I am currently building myself a drop bar steel tourer and have already crossed the "three months apartment rent" line, even without especially fancy components. Bicycles have become expensive over the past 10 years, with e-assisted ones establishing price levels that were previously considered obscene for the mainstream. Then non-electric bikes used their slipstream, so to speak.

You can get decent bikes for a few hundred easily here. I got a fairly nice one which cost £600 but that was probably spending a bit more than necessary. They also threw in a few freebies with it.

Electric obviously would cost more though.

To be clear, we're talking brand new here, right? Because I don't think you can get a "decent" bike for less than 1.000 € anymore where I live. For me, decent parts would be in the Shimano Deore or equivalent price (and quality) bracket.

Yeah brand new, if you are going over £1k its getting to the sport/racing sort of bikes, not something you would really use for commuting or casual bike rides
