As with everyone here, I think, their priority is health (mental and physical) and financial security. I hope to continue to sell and build bikes. If people don't buy them, then it is time to move on to something else, but I would prefer to keep building frames.
I have spoken to several frame builders that want and need to charge more, but feel the market will not accept the necessary prices. Is this a good situation? If a nice custom guitar or horn is 6k why can't a fine bike frame be in the same category? Nobody is getting rich producing labor intensive items, but a respectable wage is not too much to ask.
