Really. Do Vegans take well to being told to **** off?

Sure. It's a piece of scrubland in the middle of Western Australia. Might be the location of the registered office, I guess.

Makes sense. Plant-based lifestyling offers a whole new seam of cash rich and bullshit-susceptible customers to be mined.

I'm guessing a cashew is a vegan cashcow?

Do you think Jordan actually shouted โ€˜Eureka!โ€™ when he realised that fashion isnโ€™t just related to clothing? All his projects seem to be based around it in some way. Itโ€™s good that fashions stick around for a long time too, so con artists entrepreneurs canโ€™t chop and change from one โ€˜greatโ€™ idea to the next, once youโ€™ve milked (cashew, obvs) it for all its worth.

Wait, no...

Well, the cheese certainly looks like Sick, so there is some continuity.

The insta account has gone private now...

It'll be another bunch of dreamers who think it'd be cool to run a bike/t-shirt co I fear.

I assume that's the insolvency service?

Wouldn't "a lot" of people require them to be new anyway as there were only 3 employees?

At least theyโ€™ve managed to coax an apology out of all the bullshit.

I think, going on past form, its more likely a million monkeys at a million typewriters thing than an actual apology.

I wonder if Knucker Hole Cheese is as readily available as Rich Energy?
Sold in loads of places that they can't tell you about....

That also sounds like a decent'ish apology on the insta post - pity it's taken so long.

When I read Sick posts my feeling is they are saying what they think people want to hear, rather than actually sorting any of the issues, just to deflect or delay any action against them.

Maxway just created a Pinkbike account to post this:

Hi everyone,We are Maxway a frame maker from Taiwan,We want to make a statement that we didn't make any frame for Sick Bicycle and we didn't have any business with Sick Bicycle !

I wonder if framebuilders standing up and saying 'We don't have anything to do with Sick!' is going to become a thing. If so it's going to need a hashtag.

Would an actual apology on an Instagram post from Sick suggest that Jordan may not be handling their PR anymore?

Says nothing about the refunds does it? Does one of the new people have a wallet?

Interesting : when I typed Sick Bicycle Company into the What3words search field it gave me this. The words seem appropriate :

What3Words is actually wired into the subconscious of the world Matrix-stylee. Either that or there are so many combinations due to the tiny tile size that you can make anything out of nothing. I'm going to set up some sort of Gypsy Rosa-Lee Tarot reading service based on it. You pick the significant places in your life to reveal the truth, or you pick the words from flashcards to choose your next holiday (Western Australian or US deserts due to the country/language bias built into the mechanism). Or maybe Jordan will beat me to it.

Regarding any of Jordan's new ventures I'm sure he'll be able to draw on his extensive CV to promote his suitability for the role.

What difference would it make? It was amateurs that they were using for pretty much anything.Hardly worthy of anything , before someone steps up and says , FTW he made nothing except the one bike shown which captain calamity , I will fight you on the internet will have claimed has his own.

Any money Planet X's owner will have bought them out for a quid by wednesday and will turn it into something ace on here because their deity makes an appearance extolling the awesumz of cheap Chi/Taiwan made goods. #bikeindustrylolz

Arenโ€™t the majority of bikes made in Taiwan? To be fair to Planet X they normally buy up the names of formerly good defunct brands. That puts Sick out of the equation .

Yeah one pound for a toxic brand name with no stock doesn't seem like a good deal.
