In short, there are a lot of less expensive companies out there. That's fine. For me, when considering what I want my bikes to be and how to build my company, how cheaply I can do something is near the bottom of my list of priorities.
That would make me want to buy one of your bikes alone, not only are they crazy nice, but to support the people who make them like that is important. I wonder what other builders could say that? Even some of the higherend builders prolly only pay min wage. I know alot of people don't give a **** as long as they get what they want, so is capitalism, but when I think about a premium, I like to look at all aspects.
