Actually David, I'm not trolling, I'm expressing my opinion, that foffa bikes, are over priced for what they are.
Thanks for the lesson in economics, but you're reading my post, not taking it in. foffa bikes, are overpriced, that is it. people without knowledge will buy them, but there are other bikes in the market they'd be better off spending their hard earned on.
Foffa mixte thing. Quando hubs, own brand taiwanese cranks, own brand finishing kit, normal retail price, £605.
Compare that to a charge hob
Some own brand, some branded, generally better parts, probably very similar frame RRP £499
or even a viking fixed from ebay for £150 comes with sealed hubs rather than open bearing, although would need some attention to make it really road worthy.
Sure, foffa has London overheads, but accounting for these doesn't make the bikes better value.
There's no denying they've come a long way, I guess without buying powers of a larger company, or a more unique product, they will struggle to stand out.
At the current sale prices, they make great starter fixed/ss bikes.
