There is nothing wrong with overseas production. Regardless of where something is made, there are generally one of 2 criteria in the production contract. Either it's made to a certain standard, and price is not a concern, or it's made to a certain price point, and therefore to possibly lower standards. Quality is sometimes sacrificed a bit on some items to keep the cost down on a bike. Seats, tires, grips and pedals are usually replaced quickly, so it's just as easy to spec cheaper ones. Plenty of road and MTB bikes don't even include pedals. As far as Velo, they manufacture for so many different labels, it's not even funny. Nothing wrong with most of their product either.

I'm new here and just want to say whats up and I ride a Thursday. It's a small company in Idaho that handbuilds there bikes out of cromo. They rock, I haven't found a faster bike off the line yet. If someone is looking for a custom steel bike I recommend looking at a Thursday. They just came out w/ a jumper, I can't wait till mine gets here, it's currently being painted. I think what ever bike you like the most is the best and don't support knocking someones opinions. enjoy the sport and ride on...

You could use a few lessons in remedial English yourself.

Do you mean " What are you saying. I can't even understand what the **** you're saying! Proper english would do please." ?

You are even stupider than I thought. How can you tell me to use proper english with your ******** typing language.
