I am a fan of the relatively plain bike style bikes, offered by Shinola, and probably would pay a slight premium for USA (or Union) made products, but don't fancy myself a sucker willing to pay an exorbitant price for the warm fuzzy feeling.
I liked the idea, thought pretty much the same thing as you, and had the same reaction -- er, no thanks... I think you could get something like 10 of the BikesDirect equivalent for the same money...
