Again they are probably on the take from the Mfg.
Adjunct to this, what does a $15,000 CF racing bike actually cost the Mfg to build?
They do? Can you point me towards a document or a statement comfirming that, or is this just a giant strawman?
And define what you all want included in that peer piece cost? Are we talking solely raw parts? R&D? Factory race (ie advertising) costs?
