Staran FSM-140 – Review
@YouHadMeAtDrugs: We have a soft spot in our hearts for those on the other side of the Rockies. Next time you're in Ontario lets us know. Hundreds of km's of awesome singletrack within an hour of Toronto, no pesky mountains to climb ;)

We Went To Taiwan and Started a Bike Company...
@rtjames: It's a very interesting world to operate in for sure. One little insight: For us, given the time change here in Canada, communication can be a challenge. It can work to your benefit, fire off an email at 11pm, wake up to an answer. Not a problem if not urgent. It can also mean a lot of back and forth at 2am. You learn to ask very direct questions, if there is ambiguity in the question, there is room for it in the answer. Not right or wrong, just a different way to communicate that's all. cheers,

Fantastic and insightful @vernonfelton! Where were you all those years ago when we thought the same thing? It sure wasn't and still isn't as easy. I can attest everything you went through and learned is spot on. You found the right factory and people to talk to, that's for sure. Nothing ever (ever!) goes as planned. Quality control can be had but you really need to partner with the right factory and component brands - they are not all created equal. Final assembly here in Canada has made things a bit easier for us to control the overall process but still face the numerous challenges you uncovered. You think us manufacturers would be mad you pulled the curtain back but we, at least, don't mind. As with most people we chat with at bike shows, demos, or just out on the trail we are happy to share the story. Most of them - even the die-hard brand loyalists who would never buy our bikes - are just pumped to hear a story about a few riders, like them, who took the bull by the horns and built something awesome. We may be poor now and poorer in the future but we are having an awesome time building up bikes and hearing positive feedback from happy customers is pretty rewarding. Keep up the great work,
