I am going to buy one of is bikes very soon, because when the CLASSIC American builders are gone, They're GONE. Yes I know that I could get a Richard Sachs or a Waterford but they are a dime a dozen.

are like Audi's, they're every where )

Dear Mr. Reid Koskinen

Richard Sachs a "dime a dozen"? If we're writing in cliches, try: \u201cA rose by any other name would smell as sweet.\u201d

You know, I think you missed the essential part of Bruce's post. Someone sees a few photos of some frames on the internet, and draws some snap judgement about how many frames the small builders make. How many frames do you think Richard will make this year? Less than 100? Less than 50? Dime a dozen? Indeed.

Have a look at these photos my friend:
