Yes they all very sell expensive bikes. They also sell less expensive bikes.

At a quick glance for road bikes: * Canyon starts at $1899 * Specialized starts at $1200 * Trek starts at $999

If you want a more upright hybrid, they can be found at lower prices.

> I bought a "brand name bike" just like 6 years ago for $900 and thought I was going way out of a normal budget.

I'm curious what you got for $900. I doubt the current iteration of that $900 bike is now being sold for many thousands.
