totally get where you're coming from, Will. coincidently, I dig boutique luthiery too - mandolins and guitars in particular. i see a lot in common between fine bicycles and instruments when it comes to materials/craftsmanship/design/fit/finish, and i think it's a perfectly logical leap to compare the two in terms of expectations at the high end. and there's always a learning curve - i know a ton more about instruments than I do bikes, but they are rather complementary in terms of study. i'm just glad nice steel bicycles don't cost as much as nice handmade mandolins or guitars ;-) the assumption regarding finish is one i need to further consider. wood/varnish or lacquer vs. raw steel/paint or powder. very different in terms of process and what the finish is trying to accomplish. anyway, not trying to point fingers here - given your frame of reference, it's completely understandable. enjoy the ride - it's a killer bike! cheers, Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
