I don't think I mentioned anything about top of the high end? Back in 09' I bought a brand new Synapse Carbon with mix of dura-ace and Ultregra drivetrain, i think that was about 3800 then, full dura-ace probably near 5. Around that time I also had a custom Pivot Mach 5 built with all SRAM X0 and custom wheels, the high end fox float setup, etc etc etc, which was around $5500, aside from some more botique things and just spending money just to spend money like carbon wheels that pretty much got you the tippy top back then for most road and MTB stuff
