suspect that the fact that inexpensive mtbs are more widely available

will note that the mtbs tended to be cheap more so than high-end, but
the road bikes included a fair number of good units.

Additionally, even when you go to an LBS, you can get a
rather nice MTB for $500, but you can only get a really
cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel road bike for that.

Why are road bikes so much more expensive? More precision
machining and workmanship, and exotic materials required?
