17x price? Lol. What is he charging? Give me the $10 AliE every day for a part that is designed to be replaced.

£75. At todays exchange rate, converted to USD, that is $92.07.

I'm not trying to imply that the worksmanship isn't worth the price, it very well may be.

People DO seem to be buying them.

Hey guys I think people are underestimating design and manufacturing costs. They arent just rebranded mass produced products.
I know when i looked into some custom parts costs were into the thousands.
Also costs of stuff these days it doesnt seem that bad i mean it's about the cost of one tyre

The manufacturing cost including R&D of a high-end rubber is way way way higher than a small piece of CNC alu. Sorry a CNC DM RD doesn't justify 90 usd

Well personally im happy people in the industry are still making custom parts. At the end of the day if someone's doesnt like the price they dont have to buy one.

I own one on my Sl7, Its great, can't complain at all, the colour matches my frame.

Would it be any different to the Sigeyi one, i have no idea. I have a Sigeyi one on my Cervelo.

It also goes very well with my OSPW i have on my SL7 vs not having on my Cervelo.

So it works out cheaper than a Sigeyi delivered to the UK and probably even to the EU. :noidea:
