I think a lot of people had their knickers in a twist about the high RRPs and the fact that, for most people here, 'bespoke' means 'framebuilder and my choice of tubes',not 'OTP frame and my choice of colourway'.
The thing is that public opinion turns around about as quickly as a supertanker. So it'll take a while for the new pricing to filter into people actually changing their minds. In the meantime, people are going to be slightly wary 'cos they don't like being patronised by misuse of terms they feel they understand better than most.
