No amount of turd polishing can disguise the fact that it's a $400 open mould frame covered in an $800 fake-heritage paint job.

agreed but it's noteworthy that he makes a real good job with the actual paintjobs. And a good job selling open mould frames too. But I guess by the same market mechanics that has every other nodder around London riding a create cromoly frame with painted rims and cranks : /

I'm no fan of the NJS thingy, but that Nagasawa looks great, apart from the top-tube protector ruining classic lines.

Not saying its fine and it is quite gross but you have to give it to him. He paints carbon bikes for a living. I ride two great open mould frames but they are unbranded since I cant take the wankery.

I appreciate - but I think the problem here is they are not a painting company, they claim to be a bike manufacturer - and by rebranding and selling for 200% of actual worth, they are not doing themselves any favours.

There is nothing wrong with having a good idea and making money from it.
They sell nice looking bikes, people who want nice looking bikes buy them, we get a discussion point to bitch about.
Everyone is happy as far as I can see.

its even more actually - I was quoted at hongfu or whoever was doing it (before the frames are sold to pedalforce) 500 with ritte pink/black paintjob.
they sell the framesets for 1800. -

I would groupbuy the shit out of them.
Sure it does, what about steel touring specific frame? my Thorn Sherpa felt as stiff as the Dolan Precursa when it's unladen.
