Coming up some beauties!

''Mr Darcy, may I interject? I have a habit of sounding ...elitist? When, I am only trying to report faithfully upon the subject in question.''

''Of course Ms Bennett'' added Darcy protectively.

''The chrome on the lugs seems to be of the amorous small horse variety (ie fucking pony). I must add that if you can see the polishing marks in chrome, it means that overall the production has been cheap, cheap, cheap...''

''Yes, Ms Bennett...'' continued Darcy carefully, aware of mocking her contrafibularities, ''not enough time or effort was spent polishing the components between each layer of production..ie the steel, the copper, and the chrome. The chrome should look like crisp cold liquid, it should look as though it was applied by Mercury himself, its finish be perfectly smooth, though not to bulbous at the edges (which would also imply a hasty polishing) Even in this poor detail it is easy to see...''

Ms. Bennett agreed with Darcy further, hesitantly looking with pang of guilt toward the tired metal worker...''Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anispeptic, phrasmotic, even comspunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation....'' though paried with effort, ''as an aside, the lugs themselves look heavy and ill worked, as though a man with a file (though with little talent and poor eye sight, she added) has been locked in a room and asked to find something new to copy then sell...after all, it isn't about the specific operation of the parts in question, however, more so the intention and skill with which they were made. If one has to be assured of somethings quality, and cannot see it for ones self, then one should avoid the haberdashers altogether and send the Seamstress.

Quality of manufacture has little to do with fixed gear cycling, moreover so the components used within each project...a cheap suit is still a cheap suit...which ever buttons you may apply to the exterior.

Deserves a quote.
