In offering a transferable life-time warranty (where most FS bikes,
particularly carbon frames, are 3-5 years and non-transferable) Robot is, at
least indirectly, claiming that their process (materials and manufacturing
quality) is building a more durable bike/investment.
Not disagreeing with your point mind you. I think if an established brand were
to put out a bike like this as a one-off / 'moon shoot' showing what can be
done with the technology I could argue that it is a very cool bike solely from
a future of manufacturing perspective. As a business model yours is a fair
challenge that I don't have an answer; I suppose it comes down to how many
bikes they are really planning to sell.
