I was referring to one in the south east in particular.

So you think bike company workforce are particularly well-paid?

Funny as we seem to pay 4 figures for new bikes don't we?

juan - I have a friend working for a EU importer of a bike brand and I can tell you that you are talking (once again) your ass up. In an office of about 10 people he was the only genuine biker. And none of them was on low wedge or working on a visa.

Hora is very correct on at least one of those points, which is partly why I no longer work in the bike industry.

Believe me if I had that much I'd buy a custom 953 roadframe from Vanilla within minutes!
