Disc forks particularly so. Carbon disc forks even more so.That's a good point - I had no idea the forks are so expensive!

^This.I think all the other frames are under priced. Also how can two handmade by different people frames be comparable, I would say they are unique.
You are absolutely entitled to your opinions and to express them. Yet insulting strangers on the basis that their choices are not the same as yours isn't the hallmark of a fun and friendly online cycling community, tis all. It does come across as a little envious even if that is not your intent.Let's try to be clearer. I do think they are mugs - I'm sorry, but I do.
Am I going to protest outside Mr Donhou's premises with banners? No.
Am I going to try to convince people to buy something else? No.
Am I still entitled to hold my view? Yes.
Is that a problem for some of you? Probably, if this thread is anything to go by.

custom enigma would top my list, lottery wise. (Or a Donhou)
^This.
I've a theory. They are underpriced because they are from established framemakers who feel they are in competition with one another, and also with the far-east, and they feel the competition is based on price. I think they are somewhat mistaken in the first instance, distracted by the second and very much mistaken in the third.
Donhou has clearly decided to step away from a race to the bottom based on price alone. Though I can't find a comparable frame with fitted CK headset and carbon disc fork to price against.
What is the issue then? Many are honestly confused here!So either it is ok to do it, or it isn't - I'm not clear. There is no envy here, and I'm not sure why you think there is. If I wanted a Donhou (or any other) frame, I could buy one tomorrow without reaching for the credit card. That really isn't the issue.
Are you honestly telling us that, you are a person of reasonable wealth, yet you only ever buy the cheapest of any item as more expensive items hold no additional value to you?

Let's forget the confrontational posting for a bit and be honest, so we can truly understand your point?
