doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?dogonfr said:This is very true, bike companys sub contract a manufacture to produce a product.

ya, they make the mechanism, the others make the rubber.dogonfr said:Giant is one of the largest frame manufactures in the world.
Look at hand grips, ODI makes grips for how many different company's?
Check out the surfing problem going on, only one foam core manufacture, how many surf board company's are there?
The purpose of a company is to make money, not 'be cool', or to 'keep it real', or to set the newest trends or whatever else. So if a company can sub-contract another company to make their product and deliver it cheaper then of course that is what they will do. Jeesh, what do they teach you kids these days (intellegent design?)JBsoxB said:doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Down here the price of surfboards went up like 200 bucks the day after Clark Foam got shut down. It's kind of ironic considering that surfers are some of the most environmentally conscience people out there...dogonfr said:Giant is one of the largest frame manufactures in the world.

don't break the derailleur hangar, it's not replaceable. why frame manufacturers would do this is comlpetly stupid and beyond me.....austinb89 said:im actaully really feeling this frame

seems that eXXtension didn't either.....finchy said:....i dont think azonic realy thinks things through with their frames
that is what I ride....I LOVE ITaustinb89 said:im actaully really feeling this frame
I talked to Chris over at Azonic and the reason they don't have a replacable derailer hanger is because they wanted to have the hanger stiffer for racing...Personally I don't like it because I bent mine slightly at Tunnel (WCH you were behind me that day) ...but it hasn't been really an issue yetaustinb89 said:good point, i didnt really look at the frame in detail i just really liked the design. that is pretty stupid that they didnt make it replaceable
