I read your post as saying that a €10.5k road bike represented better value than a car.
I do agree that if a bike is your only transport then you're 'allowed' to spend a bit more on a bike. I remember when I was going to buy my first london bike (a giant hybrib) and told my parents that I was looking to spend ~£300 and they were shocked.
I then broke down my transport costs in London at the time: £1 bus + x2 tubes £2.20 = £5.40 x 5 = £27 p/w Call it £30 p/w as I'd use some transport at the weekend. £300 / £30 = 10 months
