No I shouldn't...I gave everyone involved in the building of my bike a five figure thank you the day I paid for the thing.

Permalink Reply by Martin Turner on May 9, 2012 at 19:48 I don't quite follow how you read that in my post. The inane statement on the surlybikes blog site implies that when you buy a bike you're under some obligation to write a thank you letter to the factory where the bike was built.
How many people buy a car and then ring up the car factory and thank the people for building their car?
My thank you to the people at the Bianchi factory is choosing to fork out $xx,xxxx on one of their machines and also to wear the Bianchi colours whenever I go riding.
