I also agree that SV could do more to increase the numbers of its products available to a wider market via distributors, whilst also controlling quality.
The CK facility would seem an obvious way to achieve that, if that's not what's already on the cards.
It's all well and good doing fitting tours around the world and having 'stock' frames, but if easier global access to the product isn't there they'll lose a lot of a very captive audience to the plethora of alternatives out there.

Speedvagen have got to the point where their lack of foreign distribution agents are holding them back. If you want to get a Speedvagen in the UK, you have to order direct from Portland and pay huge shipping/import duty costs. That's what put me off buying one a few years back, and I'm sure will have put a lot of other non US buyers off.
If Speedvagen push their stock size OTP 'O.G.' Frames that they now produce, and use CK facilities to boost production capability, and use their already established foreign distribution network, Speedvagen could become huge.
