    You are wildly wrong on your history of the internet and online/direct bike sales. Internet use in Europe in 2001 was widespread (at least in the western/northern countries). I was using the internet myself starting in 1992, and buying various things online by 2000. Direct bike sales were fairly strong already by the year 2001. Around that time, in the US, Fuji was selling a lot of bikes.

Still has the original tubes and tires! In the process of getting roadworthy. Beautiful blue finish with GT seat and small saddle bag. 21 speed. Maxis WormDrive tires in now a skinny 26 x 1.90. Wei man 519 rims.

    I have no issues with the companies producing parts in these countries. The high quality bikes use strict ISO standards and they are the companies designs. They have to save on manufacturing costs. If you get very high quality for a lesser price it’s a way for the company to make a profit and keep afloat. As long as the quality is there and the ISO standards are met, it saves the consumer money. Swiss labor, US labor, etc is not inexpensive. Bikes are getting priced higher because of new material and technology. It’s healthy as long as everyone is working and making a profit and making a living.

    • @AceRamone
      @AceRamone Рік тому

      It's not healthy for the consumer, who is having to pay a higher and higher price just to ride a bicycle.
