A comment on The Tiny Ultrabright Laser That Can Melt Steel. Parent comment
Even in 2011, when I made the mistake of spending £90 for a new bike… well, the pedals came off while riding it due to metal fatigue.
Adjusting for inflation*, I'd expect similar build quality from a bike that "only" cost €200 today.
* hard to do when there is also a currency switch, especially when the exchange rate has changed so much
