I don't have a Heron, but hope to in the next year or so and want a lugged one. I admire Todd for sticking with American production and hope he can continue to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512381.post-1160682829579579662006-10-12T15:53:00.000-04:002006-10-12T15:53:00.000-04:00I don't think it could get down to $500 frame/fork...I don't think it could get down to $500 frame/fork for a bike made in the US, but Gunnar-level prices for a smarter bike would be great. I agree with John, TIG is fine. I'm not a big fan of hybrid TIG/lugged models like the Kogswell G or older Bianchi frames.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26512381.post-1160681926430764012006-10-12T15:38:00.000-04:002006-10-12T15:38:00.000-04:00I would love to buy an American made bike.

Hopefully you could turn out a low-cost (~$500 frame/fork?), high-value, interesting commuter/allRoad'r made in America. NO ONE in the world makes this as a production bike at the moment. If they do, I've not found it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
