In my little mountain town I'd say that 30% of the young people have a mountain bike worth more (in some cases MUCH more) than their car. Us old timers mostly have very expensive mountain bike too (by which I mean $5,000-10,000; but we can afford better cars)....and a good road bike.....and a nice touring bike....and......
But custom bikes really haven't caught on. I think that is probably more prevalent in a region where road biking is the major cycling sport.
