That's a common observation - the Kogswell frames are nicely built in the areas that matter, too - and the reason why the casual comment about Taiwan manufacture and "problems" attracted such notice. I like beautiful expensive custom frames as much as anyone does, but I also think there's a lot to be said for inexpensive but well built "working class" frames. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
