Oi oi.
You need to get that bee out your bonnet mate.
Drops are £29.99. I'd like to know where you get B123AA for £39. RRP is around £85, and we buy them in the shop for alot more than £39 at trade, so I am really really impressed if anyone can find a source to purchase the bars from and be able to sell them for that amount in this country and make any profit - online or otherwise. I thought hubjub were cheap at £69.50.
I said, if you'd care to have a look, "when it comes to bars", the hubs, as you well know, are Formula. Same as everyone, for around the same price.
As qckpckt says, own brand stuff isn't meant to revolutionise the world in terms of performance, it is intended to offer a cohesive range of fixed related components, with a particular goal of supplying the emerging fixed scene on the continent that has limited sources to attain other gear; and with the aim of providing a price point in store (ours and others) that allows people to not break the bank when building up a first fixed / single speed bike - and as internet stores always undercut physical shops there seems little point in ever comparing the two's prices.
