What would be the minimum price you'd accept to not be a steaming turd, and what components would it have?

MadRhino said:It will sell, because there are enough ignorants and dreamers, who are the target market for cheap crap in a nice package.
Ignorants are buying by the looks and colours, for they can’t tell a good bike from a BSO.
Dreamers are buying by the price because they believe in the fairytale that a whole good bike can be made for the cost of a good suspension alone.
It is an imitation of common BB drive MTB’s models that are offered by bicycle manufacturers for avg 5000$. It has the looks, but every bit of it is the cheapest crap and copy that can be found on the Chinese market.
