I feel that a good build is just as important as a high price. Above the very cheapest bso (bicycle shaped object) a reasonably priced bike can be amazing, but it might need striping and rebuilding properly. There could be a correlation here between higher priced bikes being likely to have been assembled by a more competant person and them 'being better'. It wouldn't take much to ruin a badly built expensive bike and it wouldn't be nice to ride.
