Speaking of price, I surfed around to find out what they (Berthoud's) do cost and the first place that popped up was Wallbike. But the site just contained an announcement saying that Bill's hanging it up as of Dec. 2nd and easing into retirement. I hate to see him close down - it always felt like you were doing business with a personal friend whenever you ordered something from him. Best of luck in the sunset years, Bill!
So...it appears that Peter also sells them and, yes, they are rather pricey. But it's kinda like that post I made last week about the way people object to the price of an Atlantis frame - it's all what you're willing to spend in order to get the quality you want.
