One question I had is why not just have Waterford make them? Seems they are able to do the Rodeos and AHH @ $2000.
Of course, if they can get a great pricepoint in Taiwan, that probably makes more business sense. Once you hit the $2000 mark for me, I start thinking I might as well pay a bit more and go custom with a smaller US builder. Someday I am sure I will regret not springing for one of the last Japanese Atlantii, but at $2300---$2500+ if I want my own color--it's hard to justify right now given the other bikes I already own.
