I applaud Sunday for that frame. I applaud them for helping out kids who ride on a low budget, who's parents are not buying them parts because they do not like their color scheme and post it in the Bike Check section. It is smart. I would rather have kids who come into my shop buying the more inexpensive quality goods, than buying shitty broken used parts.
The fact is that, the economy sucks complete ass. Capitalism and Democracy don't work how everyone wants them to and the majority of the BMX community is middle class kids who don't get an allowance. They get these parts for birthday presents, chirstmas, and maybe lawn cutting money. Its hard to get cash and spend 400$ on a frame. Its like me. I worked and worked at cutting grass and applied for all sorts of jobs but in reality, you wont get hired until youre 18 because of liability issues. And i know for a fact that i would probably buy that radocaster because i could afford it and it is pretty good quality.
Its ignorant for companies to not make cheaper stuff. Assuming every kid can buy that is ridiculous. In reality, 280$ is still a lot for parents to drop, but it way more likely then 380$ haha. Now that i have a job, i would probably spend more on my frame. So good for Sunday for expanding the market. Now if they think it is okay to stop making the good, but expensive, parts they will lose points in my book. But they havent so idc.
