My Sick! experance

when you live in a nation of **** who believe the NHS will be better off because it’s written on the side of a bus…I’d agree with you

Has Brexit replaced the Nazis in Godwin’s Law now?

Well it turns out when the actual nazis turn up it kind of gets invalidated. Godwin on his own law:

By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you.

Good news guys! Looks like they are starting to sell the original Wulf again! Who’s in?!?

Looks like they are making friends all over Instagram

Surely it’s a case of small claims now. Any customer who is slow will lose out by being back of the queue.

There’s a thread on pink bike from a(nother?) chap who paid £2k for a ti frame around a year ago that’s had nothing (STW ran the press release that said they were stopping ti production in sept…) I know of others that have had nothing too, not just in the UK. Absolute shower. Still pumping out the insta though…

And another month goes by without them answering emails. Plenty of people out there looking for refunds by all accounts. I still have the wrong frame in my possession will probably keep it as I doubt the correct one will ever arrive.

This is really poor, especially as they’re continuing to push for more sales with frequent social media posts.

Trading Standards time then – its looking like deliberate fraud.

. I still have the wrong frame in my possession will probably keep it as I doubt the correct one will ever arrive.

Unless you really want it, ship it back and send them a letter recorded, that unless they refund within 28 days you’ll take further action, then take them to small claims. It’s easy, won’t cost when you’ve won, and as a business they’ll have to come to your local court of they choose to fight it. Which they won’t. Problem solved.

The whole social media thing bullshit, spouting shit about the next crazy idea or showing some shitty stem then kicking off at people who want refunds or complaining about the wait. When I ordered my frame it was noted as a 30day wait, this was last May, last **** May! Only got the wrong frame delivered in December, luckily in the right size but the wrong colour, no response to emails since. As far as I’m concerned now they are an absolute shower of **** who are complete hypocrites who can go and **** themselves to hell and back a few times!

That instagram account is meltdown gold.

For a bit of perspective (not defending them) I contacted Marino who has been doing their cheaper steel frames to get a sample gravel frame as a test before a small batch produced. After about six months he built us a front triangle, then disappeared. Sent a couple of emails, got nothing back. After xmas got an email with pictures of 95% finished frame and basically ‘sorry we had problems, do you still want this?’ replied same day saying may as well, it’s basically finished and actually looks pretty rad. No reply, two months. So there is actually a lovely gravel frame sitting in Peru with our tasty trees engraved on it. With anti toe overlap geo.

Short version, dealing with people in other countries is hard and this is why real brands visit their vendors.

That implies there are enough cash or assets to refund. But in that case always better to be in the queue.

They’re probably too busy organising a festival…

What I find slightly odd is that Cotic and WeAreOne (to name a couple) seem happy to associate themselves with them based on their Instagram posts. You’d have thought they would show no interest in any of their posts unless there is some sympathy with their situation which I find hard to grasp given the apparent evidence.

Was a bit surprised to see this last week.

I really doubt there are which is why I’m not going persue it and end up with nothing.

Longmover – a blast and powdercoat is £40. Not an ideal solution but the best chance of getting the bike you want. Not like you’ll be invalidating a warranty of any worth. Even winning in small claims, I can still see you having no bike and no money.

Exactly, i’ll Run it with the original paint until it all comes off, which will be about a week then get it powder coated somewhere.

I’m glad I paid with PayPal so I have a bit of back up

The tattoo shop they operate out of is at the bottom of my road. Shame they’re rubbish, be cool to have the next big thing in walking distance.

@pigyn the Marino guy had some health issues (by all accounts) and I think I heard that through framebuilders …can’t remember

be cool to have the next big thing in walking distance

It would have to be walking distance wouldn’t it?

It would have to be walking distance wouldn’t it?

Well they would never deliver it otherwise would they!!

And T-shirt weather

Got to flash that ink.

When I drove past the tattoo shop at the weekend it looked like it was shut down. Not 100% on that but certainly sounds like the wheels are coming off

Arguably they were never on. It’s hard to fit them to a frame that didn’t arrive

I wonder how many fanbois will turn up at all the small claims court hearings to shout down the claimants?

#haters

Head angle woz too slack innit.

Longmover, how about boxing it up and keeping it mint. Might be so rare it will one day be worth a fortune. All the fanboi’s will one day be old enough to buy one and you might have the only one in turd brown ever produced..

Looking back at the issues they’ve had from very early on it seems like it’s a one big Ponzi scam. Advertise, makm just enough frames to sell loads of orders and keep hanging on until they get found out.

Has their Instagram account been shut down?

Its amazing the amount people that haven’t got their products, crazy really. Hope everyone sorts out the refund or get what they ordered.

I can’t help but think that if they bought a jig from The Bicycle Academy, a bit of tube and learnt to weld themselves that they might actually have delivered possibly more than they have so far with their disruptive/Instagram/supreme/Millennials approach?

Still up:

Says User Not Found To me.

their disruptive/Instagram/supreme/Millennials approach?

I thought they were all about Long, Low, Slack? Long lead times, Low respect for customers, Slack attitude to running a business?
