These people are blowing hot air , has anyone seen proof of the magical refunds tree that’s saved the business yet.
Fixed it for you.
I do have a account here also. Just mainly to view. As far as what I do for the Sheriff’s Dept. I am a Correctional Officer. So I do know how the judiciary system works in my state.
Scarper!!! It's the fuzz!!!!!
And well done on the court papers BTW.
I should have everything finalized next week. As far as when a court date will be I do not know yet. I did save all my emails and I have screen shots of all the Instagram posts that they deleted for my documentation. I have to meet with my attorney and the Commissioners next week to make sure everything is proper. I also have addresses for all 4 members of the Sick Bicycle Co. so they can be served with their court hearing papers.
Got to love that - it can go with their U.K. CCJ they’ve got too!
For anyone wondering all states are different in the United States on who can file charges and what can be filed.
Their facebook page seems to have vanished........

I don’t think they liked the reviews they were getting
It was an odd stance they took to not update Facebook since December last year
There is an owners club though. Which hilariously (or not....?) only has 9 members.
Don't cross the Rubicon, it seems.
I just don't appreciate people getting taken advantage of or lied to especially me. And don't get me wrong if and when charges are filed and if they issue a refund they will be dropped because the case is settled. The case would be thrown out of court anyways due to it being settled. I also have no issue publically stating that they issued me a refund if they ever do. But once charges are filed next week I am not able to post any legal aspect of the case until the court has reached its verdict
More people should be taking the same line IMO
seriously.. who cares. they can just send someone else to sea otter with bikes if they ever get out of the hole they're in. (if they even wanted to) but if they do they can refund and make this go away.
interbike is dead. eurobike is the biggest trade show in the world. blocking access to the US aint an issue at this point.

Chapeau, and good luck! 🙂

No, perhaps not for a business in its final death throws, but on a personal life perspective, would you want to have the USA removed from your holiday destinations list?

Equally, if (a big one!) they claw things back from the brink, having that sort of thing against your name hardly helps your reputation!
Worked with someone a few years ago who was banned from flying on BA. When it became widely known, this was used to ridicule him, and undermine him professionally. Can the the same happening here.

Really he should be a hero.
However
I don't think they can udermine themselves any further.

For abusing cabin crew? No, not a hero.

Underrated classical reference. Have an imaginary upvote.
^ ditto, although wondering how many forumites had instead been thinking about sugary fruit drinks.

No for getting an upgrade to a better airline,

Not only that, you can't transit through any American airport because the US makes you (or at least used to) go through security even if you're just transferring between flights. Or, if you're flying to Canada or Mexico and get diverted because of bad weather, an aircraft problem, etc, and land in the US, you're doomed.

Glad someone's working to pull this thread out of the doldrums.

BA never liked flying anyway, Murdoch always had to trick him.
Just to add another conspiracy theory, but has anyone else noticed that ever since everything has gone quiet on Sicks IG account, strangely everything has also gone quiet on here and PB, maybe it was always them fuelling the conversation on both these forums all along, in some weird reverse psychology bike selling technique that tragically backfired, or maybe everyone just got bored and went an rode their bikes.
Or that there’s no more bullshit to comment on...
Can’t wait for the next post. Shouldn’t all the Taiwanese frames be here by now? What about the crowdfunded stuff? Has anyone else been paid/refunded without the pushing of PayPal or a credit card company?
Anything positive at all?
But surely they are Ninja Stealth Marketing gods. This is inevitable, they give a tiny push and suddenly we do all the media hype and marketing for them just like Jordy told us:
Don't forget folks:
Jordan explains how your new business can gain THOUSANDS of targeted followers on Instagram. This is NOT buying fake followers- Real people. P.S I manage my account on a day to day basis, I have real friendships, this only introduces new people to the business.
Do inject personality, sass, jazz... let us know the real you!
Do enjoy posting! Make friends!
Very useful piece on hashtags http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/in...I will continue to make this content however, donations will let me upgrade my equipment and produce more content
So he's made friends and we've got to know the real him. Makes you wonder how useful his advice is or if in fact this is what he really intended all along and is his new installation for the tate Modern.
Indeed a very true and telling cartoon strip.
Notice the lack of bikes.
And Blackhat's overwhelming air of smugness.

Thread is over now, eddiebaby’s won it. You can all go home now. 😂
Someone selling some Sick stuff on the Bay, as well as lots of shiny custom ano stuff...

I'm sure I've seen that anodising somewhere...
Tbf, looks like he’s having a big old clearout, rather than wanting nothing to do with Sick (not saying that isn’t the case mind...)
Can’t wait for the next chapter though.
Edit - ignore all this! He's the guy who does the anodising!
It's like an episode of southpark.

Customers of Sick Cycles
Smoke, Mirrors, and the Runaround
Sick Cycles seem to have gone and provided a textbook example of how to be good at the internet and bad at a job. With a lot of hype around their new frames, many customers prepaid money only to be met with excuses for why their frames never showed up. Pinkbike, along with other media sites gave the owners a chance to explain what was happening after threads in forums discussing the issue turned angry, but the interview seems to have merely been filled with sob stories, excuses, and empty promises after their manufacturer of the frames stated a couple of weeks later they still had not been paid for the frames by Sick and would be selling them off.
Maybe it's not these guys' full-time job to make bikes and they haven't been able to dedicate the appropriate time to it, maybe they messed up and really do want to fix things, or maybe they're just full of it... One way or another, the damage is done, and Sick Cycles have a long hard road ahead of them if they ever hope to restore their tarnished reputation.
Ooft. That’s the biggest kicking anyone in the media has given them. No beating about the bush there. And that’s before the shit really hits the fan.
H8ers...
I ordered a Ruby Wulf in early January (before being aware of the issues), estimated delivery of March. When I emailed in late March I had a response along the lines of "I can't tell you an estimated delivery date but Jordan will be in contact soon". Around that time the website was updated saying Ruby Wulf delivery was now estimated as May (not communicated to me), I was in no rush so didn't mind waiting as there weren't other suitable frame options available anyway from elsewhere. I hadn't got back in contact with Sick as I thought it pointless, but from the various threads/Instagram it seemed that perhaps my frame was on its way....
When Marino posted that he hadn't been paid I contacted him to see if I could buy directly but it turns out he never even started making the XL frames due to non payment.
Luckily for me I paid through PayPal and was inside the refund timeframe. I was refunded after a week of opening the dispute as apparently Sick had not offered any response. I was expecting to wait a minimum of 30 days so it could have been worse.
Now back to looking for a frame.....
James Smurthwaite must be fuming that a colleague has done that to his pals!
Dunno, JS wrote the article on the Marino non payment.
I’d suggest that bridge has been burned

Hardly it just shows what a shower of shit these people are that write the copy, or copy paste the copy on these places.
I’m still amazed folk think sick will come through this !!! Burned forever imho.
Ouch. That is NOT going to buff out. They’ll just put a sticker over it...
Has the pinkbike thread been deleted as it's not showing for me anymore?
