eh? open letter to nahbs

You're assuming this was just an opportunistic guy looking for a larger customer base rather than a guy that wanted to strike up exactly the type of "strong and long lasting sponsorship where all parties have roles to play so that markets are tapped" not only for himself but for other custom wheel builders as well.

That's why it was open and generalized... It really was just a "hey, our groups benefit from one another" type thing.

I get your point of view, and maybe the guy needs a filter, an editor, or a copywriter. I'd
wager this wouldn't be an issue at all if he just left off the last sentence before hitting the
publish key atmo.

If you need help in this department, give us a call and let’s work together — we’d be honored to help you succeed and the entire bike industry will be better for it.

But I will restate that the aisles and rows are completely filled with handmade wheels already,
and that many booth takers are the very folks who sell them. In other words, what he is
writing about is already a regular occurrence in our niche.

I agree and this was my point. WB clearly doesn't understand what most of us do if they do not understand this simple fact...and its that disconnect and calling us out for it, falsely, that was of concern.
