Foffa Bikes

I value all these things very highly. If I get a frame built by talbot at the end of my road, it helps his business. I'm glad to have a successful local frame builder and bike shop, and a bike that has been made by someone I have spoken to will have a higher sentimental value for me. Which part of that is a delusion?

None of that; I was referring quite specifically to the fact that many people suffer from the delusion that buying manufactured goods made in their own country is more beneficial to their national economy than buying the same goods for less from a foreign factory.
