I ran into this thought when Dyno cruisers came out. Low and behold, they sold on their own....To me, 750 clams is enough to get a decent quality geared suspension bike. Why would I spend that much on a not actually "vintage" coaster bike?
Then a customer saw one of mine, asked a price and I shot him a stoopud number. He said, "better build my wife one or she's gonna get mad."
Kinda like weekend bikers, doctor all week, no time to fuss with details, let alone customizing to personalize.
Just look at all the custom motorcycle assemblers. There is a huge market for, cool!
