It is not what that $6900 bothers me. It is what it is. For some it might be a great deal if they are into painting how Mosaic paints their frames.
What bothers me is that if I want a bare (non-painted) RT-1 (this is the only butted road bike that Mosaic produces), I will still have to pay $6900!
They didn't buy Spectrum Powder and Paint just to ship out unpainted bikes.

At the end of the day, it isn't your name on the downtube saying "Hey, I have Mosaic build this to my strange specifications." It just says Mosaic, and their stuff is mostly painted.

So I get it. They'll build it for you, but it's a polite way of telling a prospect they're not interested in that kind of work.
