Opinion: Why Have Bike Makers Ignored this Grassroots Fix?
They could make it an option, loads of bike companies let you customise the bike and it's components to no end, yet they don't offer wrap as an option. Seems like as a £100-150 option it would be a good margin option too.
I think it's more about turnover, they don't want their old bikes kept in pristine condition because the first buyer has less incentive to sell it and buy a new one, and the used buyer is a potential customer they lost. It's in their interest that bikes don't look factory fresh for years and years.

Cotic Launch Limited Edition SodaMAX Titanium Hardtail
Lynksey, aren't they those frames that hang around forever on CRC at 60% off? ;)
You've got to question, if they're selling a Van Nicholas made product for less than a Van Nicholas, with all those flash features, where's the money being saved? Quality control? Material quality? As I said I can't comment on their titanium but they put out some real shit in the other frame materials.

Cotic Launch Limited Edition SodaMAX Titanium Hardtail
I'll eat my shoe if the On One is as good as this. I can't knowledgeably comment on the quality of their titanium but Planet X road bikes use the shittiest carbon to hit their price point, the Codeine frame snapped when it got a sniff of a drop to flat (warranty models everywhere a couple of years ago) and several years ago they bought a factory in Italy (SAB IIRC?) and just started flogging whatever they found on the floor, never mind that it'd never seen the light of day and you couldn't buy, for example, a mech hanger to fit the stupid things.

First Look: The Stevie Smith 1199 DH Track
The piece mentioned the fibre optic cabling from the Olympics being a big attraction to that side of the hill too, since they can just plug in to what's there for a WC.

Check Out: Hardtail Edition
I know you showed the Slackline not the Switchback, but I always feel obliged to link back to this when I see their hardtails posted.

Now THAT Was a Bike: Whyte PRST-1
Preston, created by Wallace?! Ridiculous. Preston was invented by Wendolene's father, Wallace helped foil Preston's evil plan to rustle sheep and then modified him to be more friendly at the end.
