I think* *I better clarify....this statement was in a forum that started out with an example of the very high cost for a carbon frame made in Asia. A poster then made the comment about the paradox.

Sorry for any confusion...

Came across this:

".....Hence you get insane paradoxes like a custom frame handmade in the U.S. by craftsmen making a living wage in America can cost less money than a mass produced frame made in China by people making a fraction of the U.S. minimum wage."
