My WhatsApp conversations support this.It’s really hard to say Leo isn’t a Kok head.
This is why Stanton shifted all their manufacturing to the UK. Saw which way the wind was blowing with the imminentAre any other manufacturers doing this? Cotic have paused shipping to EU until they work out the tariffs on their Taiwan-sourced parts, but made no change to rest of world.
Do they weld the frames in the UK out of interest?This is why Stanton shifted all their manufacturing to the UK.
My understanding is yes they do. Titanium hardtails were first to be moved over, then the FS bikes, then the steel hardtails. Built a full blown paint shop too. Bit of manufacturing porn for anyone interested (contains fire).Do they weld the frames in the UK out of interest?
Yep this will definitely stop them from paying additional duties but at what cost? Manufacturing in the UK is really expensive. If they were already overcharging for bikes in the first place then maybe they can absorb it?My understanding is yes they do.

Given the UK didn't even have a trade deal with the EU until the 11th hour, I'd imagine there are a lot of companies scrambling to understand it and keep their imports profitable (or short term, just keep them going).Obviously doesn't help that their biggest retail partner is also UK based but surely maintaining their price point which has always been one of their biggest attractions is worth the bit of effort.
That can’t be the UK, theres no nudie posters.My understanding is yes they do. Titanium hardtails were first to be moved over, then the FS bikes, then the steel hardtails. Built a full blown paint shop too. Bit of manufacturing porn for anyone interested (contains fire).
I'm not knocking Taiwanese frames, all of mine except one come from there. I just think there are a lot of companies stretching the truth about their boutique status when they really mean weak buying power.@pink poodle
Alot of frames are hand welded in Taiwan, and those guys are pretty good.
I’ll take a Taiwanese frame over a murican frame every day of the week.
That depends on the man running the robot.I'm not knocking Taiwanese frames, all of mine except one come from there. I just think there are a lot of companies stretching the truth about their boutique status when they really mean weak buying power.
I even like robot frames! What is more consistent? A robot or a human?
If the program is good...That depends on the man running the robot.
And I'd be willing to bet they'd be a lot of Taiwanese companies who could belt the shit out of anything made anywhere else. They take their fabrication very seriously.I'm not knocking Taiwanese frames, all of mine except one come from there.

Are there nudie posters in the Aston Martin factory? Genuine question.That can’t be the UK, theres no nudie posters.
