Well you are one of the lucky .005 % of us then. My point is still there for the rest of us.
Who made your car then?
Look it may all go to ****,I doubt it and I really don't think it's fair to slander them so you look cool and make it even harder for them,just wait and see. You've said enough now that you can say I told you so if they go belly up.
It is great to meet the guy who designed and made your frame,but to think that because you met them you then can judge their welding(or design) abilities is absurd. Also to pressume it will be a better built bike is also absurd. Yes it's nice to meet the guy who made your bike,especially if he's a rider,also to know your'e helping out the little guy or Boutique manufacturer and not the corprate giant that uses marketing over design to sell and builds design flaws to make there bikes have a shorter life. but at the end of the day,that's just an added bonus and to buy a bike for those reasons alone would be foolish. Design and quality craftsmanship make the bike yes,not being able to say oh a mate made it for me. I buy bikes that I either know or believe i can tell will work well. Reputation for quality also makes me decide but that's an unknown quantity at this point,and to speculate anything else is just speculation,to make it sound like fact is weak.
