in a normal case where the frame cost hasn't increased for some other reason, the retail price of the frame goes down when the brake stuff is no longer included. example: the retail price of Fit and S&M frames dropped $15.00 when they started no longer including the brake stuff
T-1 and Federal, from what i recall, raised their wholesale prices. so, subtract the brake stuff but increase frame costs means the frame retails for the same price without brake stuff as it did in the past when it included brake stuff. i'm not sure why that is confusing
brake shit isn't free because it doesn't cost the brands $0.00 to have it produced. if anything, if brands are ordering fewer brake mount kits, they might actually be paying more (per kit) for them now than in the past
I hear what your saying, Flybikes have kept their prices the same with them not including brake accessories yet T1 opted for this route by not including them yet their prices have risen, the Ruben and Hickerson are made in the same factory as Fly ? I doesn't make sense it just shows me they wanted to increase their price and offer less if you will.
Edit: With the brake mount kits if I were them I'd ordered the same amount to keep the cost the same and just sell them separately, that way their not losing anything.
I still want to see sales numbers from all the main companies..
Wait, they are selling the brake accessories separately now, why ?
They say to keep the cost down but the prices are the same as all the other past frames with the accessories, more moola...
The trans green and blue look trick though.
many riders don't use brakes, so we remove the brake mounts and sell them separately to those who want them
the dealer cost of the frames increased. if we still included the mounts with the frames, the cost of the frame to the consumer would have increased
Call me blasphemous, but I feel like Terrible 1 stopped being Terrible 1 when Taj left.
I get why they had the push to the foreign made frames, bars, and sprockets, though. It's just too damn hard to get a reliable production company in the US.
Anybody that has the ability to make quality bmx parts in the US ends up making something else that has much better margins.
Man, it's obviously just me, but that dude is not a pleasure to watch. Hes got some cool stuff and that promo should show the ability to go backwards, it just seemed rushed and unpolished.
that was also my first impression with a random barspin
No pictures, links or info. Great thread.
