[Closed] Has something happened at Planet X?

Brant (if you do..) what would you call your new bike frame company?

Well I for one welcome sq225917 to the forum. I've only ever made one purchase from on-one and it went smoothly but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading the rants of others 🙂

Brant (if you do..) what would you call your new bike frame company?

Wollen Industry.

(and if you anyone can get the joke, I'll buy you beer all night)

and this Squiggle chap has been given the unenviable task.

I've got a feeling he's just a junior sales grommet who has independently added 'stw rep' to his CV....nowt official or even something I suspect 'they' are aware of.

Personally I like having Brant post and hope he continues to do so. Often a little short and cryptic but people with an interest in bike design who have had a chance to apply it in the real world are worth listening to from time to time.

What damaged the brand

😆 have to agree with northwind, I don't think a few overweight overpaid keyboard warriors on this forum getting wound up represents the damaging of a brand.

Brant, why did you make the rear brake mount of the Whippet such a perfidious thing?

It is my perfect single speed/XC race/"light trail" bike otherwise.

That comment couldn't possibly be more wrong.

An entitlement of STWers.

I'm warming to this guy.

An entitlement of STWers.

It's "an affront" of STWers... 😉

More importantly has shimano stumped up those cassettes yet.
Slippery bunch those Japanese.

Bit of a backwards career step then ?

.....my previous employer, I was marketing director there for 7 years.

Slippery bunch those Japanese.

Srippery Shirley?

she did have that reputation, didn't she.

actually RATS... wow.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the smouldering remains of a man who made an open offer of assistance to internet forum users were found on STW.

Neal - Very true. I got the impression from a Hora post a while back (Hora thinking he had spoken to him whilst deciding on the size of a bike purchase) but thinking about it again, taking too much from a Hora post could have been an error!

Chip, 11-28t 6800 are back in stock at the warehouse.

and yes, Singletrack is pretty much the go-to place for information about mountain biking - I don't know a single rider that doesn't frequent this forum

I don't know any. And no-one I've ever mentioned it to on the trails has ever given me anything other than a blank look.

It's easy to get carried away by self importance.

Neal, a backwards career step? Au contraire! I consider that I've found my true calling.

It certainly beats commuting/moving to Berlin, when my daughter had just started school and my Mrs is in the final year of her PhD, which was the option should I have chosen to stay with my last employer when the company was bought out.

we're all riding gods on here, everybody knows that

Neal, a backwards career step? Au contraire! I consider that I've found my true calling.

I wasn't saying that you had taken a backwards career step.

I was saying that someone's assumption (that you were a junior in customer services who'd decided he would be the unofficial voice of PX without anyone knowing) was probably incorrect.

Ah sorry Neal, my mistake. I'm sure it'll not be my last 😉

was probably incorrect.

But was it Simon? I think you probably should disclose your actual role at Planet X and if you are posting here in an any sort of official capacity.

Brant:

According to [url= http://yourdailygerman.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/learn-german-online-verb-conjugation-2/#more-1061 ]yourdailygerman[/url]

Wollen is german for "want".

Want one industries?

Chip, 11-28t 6800 are back in stock at the warehouse.

Phew!

I would love it if it turns out that sq3644673828293 doesn't have anything to do with Planet X

Hashtag in forum posts?

Oh dear.

Just because it had been bugging me for days I looked up sq225917 on the OS map, it's in the Irish Sea, on the route of the Cork-Roscoff ferry.

FFS give the guy a break.

'yeah, I'm new, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask'

'i demand your credentials!' yours, Outraged of STW

SQxxxxx when you getting stainless 32T ss chainrings back in? ta!

sq225917 - will you be posting your own personal musings about life, the universe and everything on the planet x twitter feed too?

I thought Brant might call his own frame company ' done one '

Or even better, DO ONE.

I don't know a single rider that doesn't frequent this forum

I don't think you know many riders then!

jimoiseau, I'll be filling up the Sheffield Twitter and Facebook pages with the usual pointless drivel intended to whip cyclists up into a blind spending frenzy.

Ah, the secret undersea crypto-zionist base. All becomes clear.

Del, 3rd week of August.

Wierdly, bing comes up with "no image" rather than the usual default tiled sea/waves it shows whene there's nothing there. The plot thickens!

...I thought for a moment Brant was now working at Orange when I started watching this the other day;

3rd week of August.

This year?

@curious, I never checked.....

I do hope so, otherwise I will have failed on my first response. My money is on the 21st but it could be a few days either way. Leaves on lines, pirates on the high sea; who knows the vagaries of international sea freight?
