Why not work up a Stupid Expensive build (in between bursts of projectile vomit, of course)? Who's to say what a person's motivations for having a bike built should be?
Stainless steel, Tune hubs, pave diamond-studded headtube...and don't forget the upcharge for building contrary to your ethic!
If I'm willing to pay extra for a childminder, does that mean I can get a frame faster?
Refreshingly candid blog in a hypey industry. Keep up the good work!
Dirtbag build next? SS build? Us dirtbag SS'ers would like to know!
I like that XX1 is on both dream build and smart money. says a lot when something is on both
