Looked up Wald--nothing, Jandd has a Jandd-jp account with 428
followers. Swift has 57.2K followers, and there's no need to follow them
since their message is multiplied by influencers and happy customers.
Clearly it's up to the companies to do their marketing consistent with
their price points, and kudos to Swift for their products and marketing.
My point is that while developing markets for high end stuff is good for
the diversity of the marketplace, it has the unfortunate downside of
training people to think that perfectly good or maybe even excellent
ordinary stuff is not quite good enough which raises the bar for people
of modest means or those traditionally less represented among bike
riders to join the party. I don't mean to discount the LBSs, coops, and
coalitions doing great work to get and keep people riding and smiling at
modest cost. Any support for Taiwanese Fender Day?

Are they at the groovy Instagram party? I follow bikey stuff I come across
there..albeit a small sample, I don't have an appetite for making that site a
big habit for me. I'd follow Wald for sure.
