For most people 'value' has to fit into the equation somewhere, doesn't it?
If your comparison was applied to cars, people would have limited
experience
unless they have driven a Ferrari.
But not everyone can afford a Ferrari or find one they're allowed to test
drive.
Surely there's some merit in a cookie-cutter?

But the price difference between the nicer mass produced bikes and
building up a boutique frame isn't that great. All of the Giant VT line
lists for more than $2000 with the VT 1 being $3000 or more.

Thanks for stating that, because that's what I'm really dissapointed with.
Like I said, the Kona Dawgmatic, Kona Coiler, Kikapu Deluxe and Dawg are all
under $2000 and just as well if not better spec'd then the Giant VT's
