It's funny that whenever a bike is made "at home", manufacturers and customers highlight this as one of its qualities. If not, no one talks about it. Ride quality becomes the only criterion for quality.
I am more than happy with my Strael, but it leaves a strange aftertaste when the manufacturer introduces the designers of the decals but not the welders of the frames. So I look forward to a report on Fairlight's welders as part of their team. Wherever these great craftsmen may come from.
