You know honestly I am just as dumbfounded as Skenry! I think the original feelings expressed were ones of betrayal; they bought a bike that suited their needs, but the company introduces a bike that suits the needs of someone else, a bike that they take some objection too because of what it's made out of!? As I understand it they still make the other bikes that they liked, they've just expanded their offerings, not sure why that's a problem!? Don't like carbon fiber? Fine don't buy it! Don't think the company should sell CF bikes? Fine, buy the company and discontinue them. But, otherwise it's presumptuous to enforce your values on them. There's the old saying that money talks & BS walks. Obviously, customers expressed a desire to buy expensive kids "racing" bike, they are merely fulfilling that need! Good for them! If they hadn't someone else would have! Incidentally, if you read the Blug regularly Grant has expressed a desire to build bikes for kids, I believe he back burnered the idea due to cost concerns. I believe he was working on that about the time he was working on the development of the Clems. After the tandems and Roscoe Bubbes are done maybe he will try again!?
