>>Serotta was kind of the gold standard. And its gravitational pull brought many into the bespoke orbit. Without Serotta and this forum, most of the people I know on custom bikes would be riding Giants. But that was pre-Instagram and pre-Radavist.
Things go much farther back, Bruce Gordon, Eisenstruat (sp), Weigle, Sach's of course, probably back in the 70's and 80's was more regionalized, then the "children" started (in MA Chris Chance the daddy) and IF, Seven, Firefly, etc. |

You should see my house payments. Lot of guys riding stuff costing more than my mortgage. The other side of that coin are the payments for lumber and professional help.

You're asking are people rational about their bike stuff, on a website devoted to bikes, which originally was started by a company whose bikes occasionally hit low 5 figures, and where people get into vein-popping online pissing matches about gravel bikes, bike parts, bike clothing, bike racers and bike whatever.

Red Hook Crit has basically admitted they don't generate enough cash flow to cover their costs, and they are right behind the Radavist on instagram.
Are these numbers translatable into cash? How much income does each generate from the platforms listed? Quote:

also on that list, ultraromance is, wait for it, a Riv dealer.
Someone in a long email thread was citing his number of followers as an indicator of influence, and it took me a couple of weeks of discussion for me to realize I'm one of the 100k ultraromantic followers. So I don't take that number as meaning he has much influence. |
