Race Face Closes the Doors
I've single handedly kept this company in business for years on end. Out of my two dozen (over the years) bikes I'd say well over 3/4 of them have had more than one RF part hung on them...Shimano is going to corner the market along with SRAM now. Best of luck to the former employees from this company...here's hoping that RF comes back stronger than ever in some new form.

Bike meets Sharpie
I stand by my comment earlier that you should charge more. A lot of people have said so, that should be a "sign" for you if you truly believe yourself to be saintly. Don't think of a saint as someone who lives poor. If you are a saint you are to be closer to God, and God is the source of prosperity. God wants you to prosper and that prosperity is unlimited, so do price your work within your ability, because God is there for you to "hook you up" son. I know what I'm talking about as I work in ministry. Cheers!

Bike meets Sharpie
You should charge at least $20 dollars an hour, which should bring the price to roughly a grand for HTs and about 12 hundred for FSs. BMXs would be about 40 bucks less than the HT price, depending on how many hours you put into the frame. These prices are based off of the 50 hour estimate that your bike took, and I think that you probably added in the couple of hours it took to draw up the design on paper into that 50 hour mark. If people complain about the prices, tell them that you'll clear coat the frame for free. You have to eat man. You don't want to become a starving artist.
