Maybe if you're cage didn't look pretty much identical to the KING cage, you'd have an easier time justifying it. Don't act so "surprised."

No kidding. The level of negativity on this forum is sometimes really astounding, and pointless.
Titanium frames look pretty much the same too. So do bicycle forks. So do wheels. So do stems, posts, handlebars. Ad infinitum, etc. There are only so many ways to make a cat, and at least the King/Moots/Silca are much better looking cats than that MSW abomination. Purr.... |

But those have a purpose. If they didn't match the outrageously irrational price of the bike, the owner would feel ripped off.

Appreciate the dialogue....however, as all builders know, and I hope you chime in, the last custom frame I ordered took over 400 man hours. At a price a hair shy of 5K, that's more than likely less than what most people make/hr. Again....leave it alone or just don't order. Know your facts or move on.

I thought Ti Legends were 10k USD. If I'm off by 5 grand, I appreciate the correction. As for the word, irrational, I used it as a social scientist or bad economist. Veblen goods and all that.

Get a storefront and you can buy the cage for quite a few $ less. Argument over
Josh is what I would consider a "good guy" in the industry. If you want a deal...man up and put the the $ where it matters. Easy, peezy |

Got it.
My point was that $55 calling $70 expensive, when $5 can serve the same function. It is basically how one justifies what is value. Everyone is free to spend how they please. I definitely would buy the $70 from Silca before $55 from Blackburn if I was going Titanium at all.
