Hi.

Can anybody explain to me why 2 finger levers are a thousand Rand???
I think it's ridiculous!
Does anybody agree?

p.s i'm technically minded, and for me, the amount of material (Aluminium Mostly), Research and development (If any, it's a simple device), and Shipping costs (Once again, Aluminium=Very Light=Low shipping costs) DOES NOT Justify a thousand rand for 2 finger levers!
The actual cost of mass producing these levers including material, i'd say no more than 50 bucks a set. Therefore, i'd be happy to pay 500 bucks a set, that's still a 1000% profit! But a thousand Rand.....this is down to principle now!

Or am i being ridiculous?
Can anybody point me in the right direction to get a good set of levers for a "realistic" price!
I don't care about "Market related" anything!
Thanks
