supporting local american business is cool and all and i understand its handmade, but but id be more comfortable spending a tenth of the price for what it is functionally
+1 to everything you said.
I especially don't understand why they fitted it with a single-sided custom rack that only works for a currently non-existent pannier... that may only exist in the future in the form of a custom Porcelain Rocket bag??
And for the price tag, I'm pretty disappointed that it's got an Automatix hub... not even a Rohloff or something that's actually really functional and pricey at the same time.
Talk about catering to an exclusive crowd. But then again that's what all these handmade bicycle guys do I suppose.
