Please could you consider a new guide: "The Best Bike for your Buck".

Something like the following price categories:
500-750
750-1000
1000-1250
1250-1500
1500-2000
2000-2500
2500-3000
etc.

highlight the bikes that provide the best value for money for each category. I guess that could be purely on components, but also build quality, suitability for purpose (XC, Trail, AM, FR).

Thanks for reading!
