What makes you think they’ll have any framesets? I’m expecting 2014 t-shirts, some mugs, maybe a 7900 Di2 groupset or three (for 10% off msrp).

I'm expecting the world's most beautiful adult-sized tricycle, and f I don't get it, I'm coming right here to complain that a private company isn't doing business with my expectations at the top of mind, those bastards.

The Instagram post certainly seems to suggest they'll have at least one frameset for sale.

I can build a frame relatively quickly once I have all the parts. That's glossing over how much time it takes to get parts, design the frame, and a lot of little things that take time. If I was building a modern version of a '70s skinny tired racing frame, life would be a lot easier for me, I can do that blazingly fast.
Selling them is a lot harder. I think that's true for most builders. If you had to pay people for all the requisite tasks involved in building a frame, including selling, then selling them cheap looks fairly difficult. The companies that are giving frames away cheap are slowly going away. People try to start one up occasionally, but those companies go away pretty quickly. Don't forget you need insurance, which is claims made. So you have to keep those payments up for life if you are a sole proprietor. If you are a sole proprietor that is incorporated, then just dissolving the corporation probably doesn't protect you. |

Regardless. Their bikes are very specifically sized, not giving a list of what they have is mildly ridiculous from a business strategy perspective.

On the other hand, maybe their goal to get a love get rid of more than just frames. They start posting sizes, they're going to have people asking for pictures. At that point, it's nearly as much work as selling a new frame. On the other hand, you have people show up in person, bring their own tape measures, use their own eyes, and pay a price you make up on the spot, be safe yourself, a whole lot of work.
