as I said, Joel - it's about more than products. did you not read that part of my post? to be clear and keep things in the context, there is a niche of riders who identify with Rivendell very strongly. there is a niche of riders who also identify with Rapha. these are the niches I assumed Mike was referring to - that seemed rather obvious to me. and I agree that they wouldn't exist to the extent that they do without companies like riv and rapha. > The correct term would be Fallacy of Accident. You are assuming some > general similarities make the two alike. no, I didn't. you wrote that there is no similar philosophy. I provided 3 specific, not general, examples of core values (philosophy) they have in common - appreciation for steel bikes, craftsmanship/ quality and style. >It is certanly not objective to say Rapha and Riv share similar business >philosophies. I didn't write anything about *business* philosophies. is that the "philosophy" you were referring to? if so, I misconstrued. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
