Seems designed and priced for the "money's no object" crowd. If I were ever to find myself amongst that group I might look at a Moulton separable instead (or too!). The Pashley Moulton TSR9 comes in around $2400 in Canada, while the TSR30 is $3600. The Moulton New Series (which I've never seen here) would be over $11,000. doing a straight conversion from the U.K. catalog.
