    like, imagine buying a new bike for $15K and having other cyclists laugh at you for being so cheap

    This has never happened ever, not even once.

    Tour de France-level bikes cost $15k. You quite literally cannot spend more.

        Unless it was a custom build or something from a luxury automotive brand, that seems unlikely.
