No offense taken, for sure. Colin has been doing this long enough that production is no problem for him; some of the parts are laser cut in large batches, and he has a series of jigs that keep everything consistent. Not to the level of China or Taiwan, but even there these would not be as cheap as some might think. I also truly appreciate the short lead time of getting it locally. Ordering bike parts from overseas typically takes at least three months; I can get mine in two weeks. Love it.
