Respect to Dani for engaging in debate - however i cant help but feel that you give off a certain naivety, that i dont quite buy - anyone who has been doing what you have been doing for the last couple of years should know damn well that the prices you have quoted for parts are utter crap.
I just cannot believe that you have only just become aware that Brakes arent £100, and and as for cheap frames if you looked on here you would find em, let alone before you bothered going to the many bike jumbles up and down the country.
I am all for you making a success out of your business, and your new frames look decent quality and a step in the right direction, but please dont pretend that you arent aware of exactly how much the parts you put on your bikes are worth. If you advertised these bike as nice bikes at a value price, rather than bespoke classic restorations, i am sure you would get a lot more love.
