Their own-brand product seems to have fallen in between the cracks, too expensive for OTP but too constrained for boutique and not taking financial advantage of the creative freedom offered by in-house production.
After Bob's passing 20 years ago, has the company been competing in the wrong market?
Hit the nail on the head I think.
I’ve always kind of fancied owning a BJ and last night I got to thinking that instead of looking for a used one, now might be the time to buy a new one, have one of the last few out the door kind of thing.
Thing is, there’s only one of the otp frames that can take a 32mm tyre. The Vigorelli, which is what I’d really want, is 28mm max.
Have to think that if they had changed the design up a bit, probably as simple as using a different set of chainstays, even offer it as a chargeable option, then the frames would be more relevant to today’s market.
