Like, he’s one to talk!

OK BOOMER!

The market for his frames allows it. I say leave him to it. His price reflects his waiting list.

I’m glad he exists in the bike world.

Readers . Just put together.. bit toe lap but otherwise happy with it

He is allowed to make a living Andy.

Of course he is. But to come out with claptrap like that when he’s selling artisan bike frames for $$$$ is a bit hypocritical, no?

I don't think he's suggesting bikes cost too much.

I think he's pissed that cycling isn't kewl.

I like to think Sach's terrible instagram poetry + churning out the same lugged frame over and over again while pretending he's making something with the craftsmanship of a samurai sword is all part an ingenious con and he possibly doesn't even exist.

He should craft a sublime, limited-run of artisanal e-scooters.

I don't mind his writing tbh. But yeah, since he asks $5000 and a 10-year wait for the same frame he's made for 40 years (thanks to a business model based on a personality cult) maybe he shouldn't talk about elitism.

It's his. Style of. Punctuating things. That. Really. Gets To Me.

But yes, the ridiculous wait list and price for frames bothers me a lot more.

Get his ass! Drag him!!!

But yes, the ridiculous wait list and price for frames bothers me a lot more.

I think the price/waitlist is ridiculous, but if people were willing to pay 5k for my frames, id be selling them for 5k.

The thing that annoys me is that his head is so far up his own arse im surprised he can type out any pretentious rants, let alone put a frame together.

I don't blame him at all - if he's doing it cynically it's genius.

starting to think we should have a price cap on this thread before it has to go in hhsgb, but imo anything with electronic gears should go in hhsgb/bin

The list and price are simply economics. It’s created by an oversupply of people who Like. His style. Of punctuating.

Has anyone checked if that works?

I like its chunky purposefulness, but lawdy did they moneygun.gif

Not sure Sachs even does gravel bikes
