I was reading the new post about the Yen at: http://www.rivbike.com/blogs/news_post/159
and it made me ask: Is there any way that there are any american or canadian or mexican companies(NAFTA) could manufacture some of these components to the same level of quality? I know there are a largish number of independent frame builders out there. Can they produce enough consistency to bring the prices of the frames down to sub-2K ranges? What about stems? Is there no one besides nitto who can do it for what the nitto's cost? I'm not arguing against the nittos, I'm just asking if there is really no one who can do that kind of manufacturing. -sv --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
