Either the price of your product needs to be adjusted to reflect it, or your product needs to be adjusted to reflect your target price... off topic but kinda reminds of Haagen Dazs reducing their "pints" from 16 to 14oz rather than raise their pint price. I recall this happening a while back when spotting Ben&Jerry's pints being packaged with added text that read "STILL A PINT!" and I remember thinking to myself "well, duh, of course it's still a pint" and thinking nothing more of it until a later date when I happened to see them side by side only to discover Haagen Dazs pints had shrunk so they could keep the price from changing.
I certainly don't see Riv shrinking their bikes (especially with the recent lengthening of chainstays) just to keep costs down deceptively. They also already went with imported TIG models at a much more affordable price point for those of us that remain just out of reach of fully lugged models (unless chasing one down on the used resale market) and the reason I finally was able to purchase one (a 65cm Clem.) I'm grateful that the stars aligned at the time so I could pick up the mega Clem, especially now that it's been mentioned they are very unlikely to be replenished.
