So, I also get well tested bike and employ someone in the country I'm living for what works out to roughly $299.
The turn around that company did is pretty spectacular actually, the QC issues were huge but they actually went the right way with it.. they started going above and beyond to prevent that from happening again. I won't fault you for disliking them though.. there's plenty of brand hate in the 41 too.
I could have sworn your figure worked out too much more than 299 with the VAT and all, wasn't it roughly at $600? Actually I am quite sure it was.. as you've said previously apples to oranges. I was just making a funny before.
