Goodness, that's some serious bargaining skill. I'll have to look into production costs and see what kind of margins these people are getting...
I'll have to check Gigantex too--basically all of the carbon manufacturers are in Taichung, but I'm in Taipei, about 2-3 hours away. We'll see whether or not I can visit. The Gigantex facility looks like the Google of the bicycle world though... it's like a day spa or something.
Gah--just looked up the address of Gigantex. It's even further away...
