Price also has to go up considering Taiwan has made significant investment in their bike factory technology and aqcuiring more skilled labor and it's fast approaching the best factories in the world that can fulfill on a production scale in high quality frames.
Same thing happened to Nike in S Korea back in the 80s IIRC. Nike initially got the cheap shoes they wanted, but S Korean factories invested in their shoe factory technology and prices rose to reflect the quality produced. Nike tried to make their shoes elsewhere and suffered a loss in quality. So now their premium shoe lines are made in S Korea factories. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
