    If this was a customer service “joke” from BT or Sky or Virgin or whoever, you’d be incensed.

    Not true to be honest. I’d love it if they put out something like that rather than the bland meaningless corporate drivel these big companies all spout. Generally the world is a better place if we all have a bit of a laugh.

    I’d still love a Disc Trucker, but I’d take the stickers off, just in case anyone stopped me to chat about my sophisticated humour, or how great I was ‘cos I didn’t buy a Boardman.

    Yep that would teach Sury a lesson wouldn’t it.

    Am i in a minority in selecting what I buy on if it’s going to do the job it’s supposed to at a price i can afford.

    All the rest is just guff and nonesence.

    I don’t want to teach Surly a lesson.

    I just don’t want to be associated with the kind of people who allow themselves to be defined by what they buy, rather than what they do.

    “All the rest is just guff and nonesence.”

    + lots!!

    “the more I read of this thread, the less I want to be associated with people who think they’re special because they’ve bought a into a minority brand.”

    I haven’t seen a single person think they’re special because they like surly stuff on here (lots expressing that they find it funny and uptight, up themselves folks maybe need to get a bit of life or accept that some folks like puerile humour and don’t take stuff so seriously all the time), just yours and others assertions that it is so.

    maybe you need some self reflection to see why it irks you so? xx

    And yet there you go acting all superior and slagging people just because they don’t share your opinions.

    Judging by this thread Surly seems to be successfully trying to appeal to people with a hugely inflated sense of how much cooler and funnier they are than the average person, who apparently think that anyone who doesn’t share that opinion is an uptight square.

    Or maybe they sell stuff to people because they’ve taken the time to make stuff that no one else does.

    Some of you guys try to read far to much into stuff that’s as simple as buying a tyre/tube/ rim.
    When I buy a new tyre the last thing on my mind is will a randem person off the internet that i will never meet thing it’s cool.
    What i’m thinking is will this tyre do what i want it to do.

    It’s just bikes nothing more nothing less.

    Grum.
    Don’t take this the wrong way but from what i’ve seen of some of your photos they’re pretty good.
    Why not start posts with some great pics and stuff in instead of being so down on stuff that you’re not into?

    Each to there own but you do seem to seek out stuff you know you don’t like and start bitching about it.

    I would love to see you put as much effort into starting positive threads as you do into this kind of pointless arguing.

    Just a thought like.

    I fear you have me mistaken, I don’t judge myself above or below others because of a bike brand that i don’t own; but because I am massively better than them, because I’m flipping awesome and you are such a square bear it pains me to even be the same virtual atmosphere as your bland beige, vanilla, wafflings about how much you hate nicheistas and attention whores. Your very existance produces an unbearable ennui.

    Now I shall set up an alter to my greatness and demand sacrifice of tubby, middle aged, orange five riding, sandal wearers to appease my wrath.

    I love my Surly Karate Monkey. It just rides right.

    I found the Surly blog quite amusing. I guess you either get it or you don’t. If you don’t, you never were going to be a Surly customer anyway so they don’t care if you are shocked by their approach.

    You’ve got to admit it though, it got you talking about them and the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

    Does this help…?

    I have a couple of dogs who help out in my shop: mainly eating biscuits and scaring delivery guys… But mine don’t have goggles. Surly dogs have goggles.. What does boardman bikes dog.look like?

    Once again read what they wrote, it’s all tongue in cheek, obviously and blatantly tongue in cheek.

    Some of the conclusions drawn from that blog are ludicrous. It’s just some blokes messing around, who happen to make remarkable bikes, and bits.

    Ringo….

    Look, here’s how to say you like the blog post and Surly without coming across as a bit of tit. Some people on here should take note.

    don’t honestly see where i’ve been Patronising (defined as characteristic of those who treat others with condescension) anywhere? 😛

    Bloody hell ! – I’ve been on holiday since this thing started. Would never have guessed that this would be one of the “runners” (mind, it taps into a nice rich vein of posturing, one-upmanship and snobbery on all sides so in retrospect, … 😉 )

    Good work on the owl there, flash !
