It's like learning how to make a dovetail joint and then selling chests of drawers a week later. They may work but they won't be pretty and no one should have to pay a hefty markup. Starting a framebuilding company implies an artisanal level of craftsmanship and doing so with an apprectice level of skill is obnoxious. Bike Mielec is definitely an exception to this but as has been said before the price reflects that.
