I do like the fact that United Health uses Chris King R45 hubs with Sapim spokes.

On another note - given that more and more it is becoming difficult to tell the generic carbon frames from the name brand carbon frames, and how easy it is for some company to just slap their name on a generic frame (see Ritte frames), it does make me wonder whether this lack of character in the frames themselves, and in ability to determine the difference in the frames from a consumer standpoint, is going to bring trouble down the road. At some point, a consumer can save ton of money buying a generic frame, and get for the most part, a commensurate frame for 1/2 the cost.

At least with steel, there were steel tube variations and builder differences. You could decipher value, and would be willing to pay for this value. However, can this continue to hold up in the carbon fiber market, where everyone knows that a few big manufacturers (Giant, Merida, Kinesis) make the majority of the frames for the name brands.

A few companies I think see this, and are doing something about it. BMC comes to mind the most, as they have completely automated carbon fiber frame construction, and no other bikes look like BMC.

Time and Look, being made in France still, I think can sell value, because they can differentiate themselves from the generics.
