"A popular search engine shows it for ~$750 with free shipping" that's precisely my point. quickbike.com has a Merry Sales account. They are willing to sell a frameset for cost plus $50. Putting up an internet storefront to sell a bike frame like a commodity doesn't prove that Rivendell could design a budget Hunqa for $750. It doesn't prove they can't, either, I'll grant you.
