"What is something worth" is so idiosyncratic that it makes no sense to ask "Is a $14K bike worth it?" The answer is a function of so many factors that are specific to the individual - income, wealth (not the same thing), degree of obsession, as well as a lot of more subtle factors like how you were raised, or whether you feel YOU are worth a $14K bike.
But it's winter, and the rain has started yet again. so what else is there to talk about?
