Peter did mention it was going to be a high end frame that won't be super cheap. Depending on the final specs, weight and looks it might be a great option.
yeap! Indeed he did.
I believe Jeffrey, me (and virtually most of us, I'd expect), were expecting sth not that high.
$1350 is close to double the prices Carbonda for example does. And just like Jeffrey mentions we can get most of the times cheaper western frames on bike24 or other EU online websites, which have a resale value, because I believe most of the users here don't keep a bike for long/have more than one.
Anyway, nothing to cry about. Wish good luck to Peter, and we keep looking for alternatives
