  • "worth nearly £475"...

    Yes, but only if paying full retail.

    The point of buying a full bike from the manufacturer is that you're getting a deal based on the full build.

    700 for an off the peg single speed is pretty shite imhop, it's not like fitting larger tyres in it should command a premium

  • it's not like fitting larger tyres in it should command a premium

    You and I both know this is exactly how the world works.

    Fashionable and ‘on trend’ things will always command a premium over items that are less desirable.

    Economy of scale may come into play in some spheres but cycling isn’t really one of them imo.

  • Yeah but Pompino thread. Cheap as chips.

    Just got a raw v4 with everything apart from wheels for a ton and sourced a disc fork from a Cotic road rat to slap on it... A calliper and a rear wheel away from getting it built up.
