New T1 drool
redface:
T1 sells the frames direct to shops with brake mounts included. we decided to remove the mounts and sell them separately due to customer requests (customers who didn't want the mounts, ever, for any reason). we had the frames priced at $359.95 with mounts due to increased cost to us for the frames. this happens due to smaller qty of frames ordered from the factory, inflation, etc. when we removed the mounts, we lowered the retail cost to $349.95. now, since another shop is selling the frames for $349.95 with mounts, we lowered the retail cost to $339.95. T1's USA vendor sells the frame and mounts separately, so it's not just us making this decision
regarding Fly vs T1 frame prices, Fly makes a lot more frames than T1, and probably can demand better pricing, even from the same factory
i've also added the brake mounts as an option when ordering the frame, so you only have to click a button. no fuss, no muss :)
regarding ordering the same amount of mounts, past vs present: 1. most companies are making fewer total frames than in the past 2. why order more of something than you realistically think you can sell?

This is what I wanted to hear. I just checked it out on your store too, and like how it's done.
