Silca Ti cage - $70, really?!?

Sorry, Silca makes some cool stuff no doubt but their advertising hype is often over the top and with their roll out of their new Ti cages, the BS machine has gone into warp drive.

I just can’t see where this thing is worth $70. Is one buying a truly innovative and improved product or perceived status and exclusivity?

Blackburn makes a killer cage that sells for $55. So is one paying 15% more for the name?

Sorry, I just don’t get it. But I also don’t get Rapha either. I find their advertising to be completely pretentious, but that’s a different rant.

Silca does make some very fine products so I won’t put them in the same league as Rapha, but their new cages are bumping up against them.

Forgive me, it’s been raining non stop here in The Texas Hill Country
