Apologies, absolutely not my intention.
Despite my apparent cynicism I’m still a believer.
Fairlight/Genesis etc show there’s mass demand for quality steel and I reckon that by keeping overheads down focussing on what adds value, a bespoke builder could easily compete in that space.
This would be a great thing for cycling, but the question is whether the bespoke builders of the future would want to be a fabricator rather than an artiste….
One of my brothers visited Emmenzeta and said each welder was banging out a frame a day (all super-skilled, hopefully reasonably paid welder/fabricators - no geniusses, no bulkshitters)
they’ll do you bespoke for way less than you’d pay for a condor
