Cervelo, the preferred bike of active dentists, everywhere -- this is an all carbon frame, with Shimano's new-er 12 speed 105 Di2 shifters. It is even equipped with Shimano 105 carbon wheels shod with very high end Corsa G2 tires in a 28mm width. Cervelo warrants their frame, like Trek and Specialized - for life. I think this is a pretty good price from a very reputable seller for this brand and spec.

Well, not this bike specifically. Any self respecting dentist has a SirVelo with Dura Ace. This is for lowly regarded interns.
I've had some decent Iron Horse, Diamond back, and Raleigh $300 bikes that lasted years...., they're good enough for most people that occasionally ride.
The cheaper $100-$200 bikes (Kent/ Huffy) don't last. they will break during normal use in a couple years....it happened to me. I will never trust them again. Frames break and random parts snap. No way I'd bomb down a hill on one. They're dangerous.
My full suspension mtb santacruz was $3k and lasted 20 years ...used 3x a week over rough trails....I only had to replace normal wear items like the chain, tires, and brake pads.
If you ride a lot you'll want to invest in a quality bike. Used is always an option.
I'm sure it's a good bike, but for normally being $6300, it should have a little upgrade from the 105 DI, maybe Ultegra Di ? here's a bike with 105 DI for $3000 https://www.bikesonline.com/polyg...-road-bike

Agreed. Only thing I can think of is carbon wheel (albeit these are not really that deep).
I wish I could set up the opposite of a Deal Alert, like a Deal Block, for any Bicycles priced over $200

Thank you for that info! I really just want to ride through the neighborhood with the kids, no bombing hills in my future. I will look for Iron Horse, Diamond Back and Raleigh

Good question… any DDS's here at SD that may be able to answer this?

Just add "Wal-Mart" to your bike deal alert. that should accomplish the same thing.
