Re: pic: 1493 Drive Train 1

The design is a wheel that sells for 80 bucks on some guy's website. This guy thinks it's a good idea to post his cad of the wheels he designs as it will help him sell more. Fortunately, due to water jet machines, and the lack of adequate patents, we were able to make the wheels for just $15 a piece. Frugality mixed with some creativity usually heeds desirable results.


/edit

After further consideration, I have found that my wording was reckless at best. I have not changed the original post as not to disrupt the flow of this thread. I have written a formal apology that can be found lower on this page. I hope people reading this for the first time will read my apology before replying to this thread.

Also, the $15 thing doesn't include labor, waterjet fees, paint, and other stuff that would be factored into the price of Andy's wheels.
