I was saving up for a Rune and then found a cheap Altitude frame on buysell and yeah - username checks out. Anyway, it's just as well, because I put the Ride-9 chip in neutral position when I got the frame and haven't moved it since. I would still rather be \*seen\* riding a Banshee and that is the appeal of small brands if I'm being brutally honest. Is there an easier way to buy credibility on the trail than buying exactly the right bike?
Small/unique brands are in no danger as long as they continue to offer something a little unique that customers can identify with.
