Sorry but there is just so much you don't understand because you have never been on the inside. Accuse me all you want of having ill-will towards BF but I promise you that is too blanket of a statement. There is so much good there but it is being wasted by poor leadership or no leadership at all. If they get new leadership you will not only see higher quality bikes but you will see them with much less wait and making a profit on those bikes. Some simple changes could change so much there and actually being a true lean business would help in all of that.
Not to start an argument, but my parts were definitely not overnighted, nor were my friends. The parts for my build were ordered and received over 3 weeks and then my build was slotted a week later. In any case, I hope you find a way to move on to something that makes you happier.
