I love the engineering, and the attention to detail.

Its when they go and take all these well engineered products and stick them on a bike(in the video) that looks like its been welded together out of left over waste metal from the Sheffield steel industry, that really lets it down. 😉

What would you stick them on? A frame made from bits of fabric and glue?
If we’re being like that then the only frame that would do them justice is a Nicolai.

My issue is the actual margin of difference in price. If LBS could get within 10-15% of online for items under £250, I’d expect I’d be happy to pay it. Then again, perhaps me and my preferences put me into a minority of cyclists who think that way.

…

Even a tard such as myself knows LBS have a different overhead structure

You do?

As for the “we can’t compete”. I’m glad Hope didn’t feel like that, when facing the competition from the far East, otherwise they wouldn’t be here today.

Me too – a completely different situation though.
