However, one should seek the more permanent stuff versus the less than permanent stuff. It's like with cars. Japanese ones are among the best but even they break down. My wife's Toyota developed a steering rack leak afer 23 years. Unbelievable. Only 23 years. $940 later it's all fixed. At least it didn't fail on the road, just very gradually. My Mitsubishi is 22 years and, nada. Not even a dome light has had the audacity to burn out. I sure wish bicycle manufacturers would learn about that level of quality. I see a 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse, weighing in the neighborhood of 3500 lbs.and costing US$ 24,085. I suggest that anyone selling bicycles built to those standards probably make a "live for ever" bicycle. That Mitsubishi can comfortably carry four people, baggae and if needed a small trailer. Mine (Montero Sport) can carry half a ton of firewood, and has, many times. A bicycle only needs to carry ne rider and modest baggage. How much effort and weight would it have taken to coat the steel stiffener tube before pressing it in? 0.01oz? 0.02oz? Yes, they could do better. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
