"Cheap"? $1,400 ain't cheap if you're an hourly-wage worker. It isn't even "affordable". Perhaps find a different word. "Value-packed", maybe. My shop does this with Surly Big Dummy frames. We build them up with a smart combination of new and used parts to keep the total price under $2,000. This is how you make bicycle transportation more affordable and more accessible. While I applaud RBW's stance on avoiding stuff made in China, I predict that this will become harder and harder to do -- and in a relatively short time. And when that happens, further developments at RBW will be interesting to watch. Off to ride my BGR (Beautiful Green Riv) -- further into the ground.
