Yeah, I think in particular prices have come down dramatically in the past 3-6 months.

The specific 2000EUR figure might be European pricing. The lowest I'm seeing for any carbon road bike from e.g. Specialized with US pricing is $2400 for a two generation old Tarmac SL6 (this generation was current 2019-2021) or $2800 for a current Roubaix. The least expensive carbon road bike offering from Giant is $3300 US (TCR or Defy). (Though I'd expect to be able to find better deals at retailers trying to move old inventory than direct from the manufacturers.)

Yeah EU. One example I can give is this, Specialized Aethos 2024 for 2200 but only one size available, Giant TCR Advanced 2024 several sizes 2400, plenty others. This is a reputable retailer and there are some other with same/lower prices.
