Again I'm wondering where you're coming from - niche products are the ones with excessive pricing. Surly touring bikes, Shimano touring groups, touring wheels etc. Top end super-light racing parts. You seem to have fixed opinions. That is your business, but don't for a second think that others agree with you in any manner. Eventually I got an Italian threaded 386 bottom bracket cups because the FSA service guy didn't know what he was talking about - they cost three times as much as English threads at the time but the pricing has come down.
