Wheeler 9800. Most likely Tange Prestige tubing.
The only high end parts on it yet are the XTR derailleur/shifter, and the titanium stem. But I plan on upgrading the rest piece by piece, whenever I can find something nice on the cheap. The goal is to get it under 10 kg.

 
I have two bikes that I consider 'upscale' from the other--a 2011 Marin Belvedere 24-speed commuter in gunmetal and my vintage 1981 Trek 412 roadie in excellent shape. Different eras...different riding experiences. (Photos to follow.)
 
So far it has been my Rockafella build. I ended up selling it for over $2000.

My highest end bike is ALSO my oldest AND roughest by a long way....
1902 Pierce chainless with full suspension, full rust and full of potential!

If we are defining "high end" as being the most expensive, then it has to be my 2017 Rat Fink. I searched for a good deal on one for over a year but jumped on a brand new one when I found out they Electra was discontinuing the bike.

Should have jumped on a second Ghostrider last year before it was discontinued too. Already have one I scooped up for $400 but would have been nice to have a brand new one from the last year it was available.
 
Planet X Superlight Team.
17 lbs of giddy up.
I had it out yesterday.

I couldn't find the "gratuitous fountain" thread, but it fits here. A couple years old but still easily worth over a grand. I picked it up for one fat Ulysses S. Grant!!!

GC.
