Agreed. It's what I think of when I see $600 million yachts.

haha nice try it doesn't have enough water bottle mounting points on the frame .. oh dammit.

This seems like a complete misuse of 3D printing technology, they're just using it so people say, "3D printing, cool!" You use 3D printing for protoyping or to save on tooling costs - which obviously weren't passed down to the customer in this case... The other application would be to make something that would be difficult to machine otherwise, but it's pretty obvious from the better products on the market this isn't a limitation. Oh, and they're also cheaper and last longer.

Scotland!? With all the Scotch Broom and Ferns, I thought this was on Vancouver Island.

DT Swiss marketing dept. needs to jump on this.

Ya in Canada we just call him Ricky Gram.

This is great to see, and well put. I never thought about racism in a hobby/sport because that's the area where we're just free to choose what we want, unlike a career with hiring/firing/politics and people in positions of power. In a recent, similar post from the triathlon community they touched on similar issues regarding expense and access to facilities, but they went on to say how in some areas people or color are profiled when they're just trying to ride a bike. I believe the stat was from Florida where 70% of the bike tickets were handed out to people of color, where they only comprise ~26% of the population. Other people talked about having racial slurs slung at them while out riding, it's awful. I take the point that we (the "white majority?") need to be part of the solution, but anyone from the minority, please speak up now and share your thoughts. We're listening, we just don't live it, so sometimes we miss the most obvious things.

maybe they're hoping you buy both and compare for yourself
