[MENTION=108582]RobbieTunes[/MENTION] - Thanks for that great summary! I hadn't thought about skill level and labor cost! It would make sense that SA and A would be sources of quality bikes given how much those cultures are dependent on bikes. With access to the world market, why not play in the niche/boutique arena? Hard to break into it though.
Do you think Shimano will come up with an electronicly controlled fishing reel?
