His kid will be the one who can’t onshore the egg onto the spoon.

Attacking people’s family? Classy.

I’m sitting next to Jordan* at my kids school sports day

UK scene insider!

Let’s have a show of hands, who on here is owed money by Sick ?

So nobody on here then, there must be some people out there so never fear the STW White Knights have got tour back 😂😂

So if I see someone getting mugged, I should shrug and ignore it because it doesn’t affect me?

Yep. If you try and do something about it, you’re the arsehole.

Attacking people’s family? Classy.

Blimey, I was hardly attacking his family, just a rubbish joke.

No, you were ATTACKING them! With mean comments about their egg handling skills! On a forum that they’ll never even read! Hanging’s too good for you, you monster!
(if I knew how to do smilies there’d be a crying with laughter one here)

I’m owed money by them, but I rarely comment about as I’m dealing with it, sorry if this upsets the theory of pitchforkery

Not me! They just seem like a pair of clueless dicks and its fun watching them continue to dig a really big hole for themselves.

They’re from Worthing. Not Brighton. Different town. Different county. Much more shit.

Do keep up, they stated some time ago that they wouldn’t sell bikes to STW members

I’ll raise my hand here. There is a log on PB of people waiting, but I would imagine it’s the tip of the iceberg. Just the tip

Their incompetence left me out out of pocket

There’s the OP…

Obvs not as bad off as those without frames but they owe me a T-shirt or refund.

Fair enough I’d want a shirt or my money back as well.
But it would be interesting to hear from the OP or one of the early posters to see how their getting on. A list of people owed frames/money seems to have been created, is that list being worked through ?
I’ve known of people with a buisness that has gone through taking out personal loans, second jobs ect and eventually everyone gets paid. Is there any sign of this happening with Sick ? but to know we have to hear of those still owed money.

the last email i had from them said
“hi Chris, as the PayPal case is open, it makes sense to let it run it’s course.
The T-shirt has been added to the queue for a refund”
that was the 28th May, I’ve not had a ticket for the t-shirt order and obviously wont get one for the other order, paypal are dragging their feet a little.
I’ll await paypal’s final descision before I take any further action.

but to know we have to hear of those still owed money.

Or the previously vocal sick bikes could publish some facts and figures rather than self serving statements and toss?

Actually, if this happened, there wouldn’t be anybody left who was owed money, so to know if this had happened, you would have to hear from people who were owed money but have now been paid off. There is zero evidence that this has happened.

They could agree to the refund and bringi the Paypal case to an end by just clicking a button.

yeah they could ( I have suggested it) but they havent/wont/cant be arsed/ might offer to fight me on the internet but not in real life DELETE AS APLICABLE

for all those who think that Sick are not scamming just rubbish at business, I used to agree but during my conversations (if you can call emails with no answers that) they have promised a refund since the 29th April, after a week of them ignoring me I passed it on to Paypal (Sick havent responded to Paypal at all). It may not have starteed as a scam but it certainly is one now, they have lied (all of them, Jordan, Tim and James the customer service chappie) since the 1st of May without remorse or actually checking what the previous lie was.
As they won’t email me or phone me I challenge them to respond either here on on Pinkbike

I’ve read the entire thread; so are we saying I shouldn’t buy a bike from them?

They don’t sell bikes, they sell dreams.

You can’t own a dream, you can only aspire to have one.

They don’t sell bikes, they have difficulty in onshoring dreams.

FTFY

Roger. Request for one dream tendered. Let’s see if I get lucky…

I’ve read the entire thread

Yeah yeah , and customers expecting refunds got them whilst pigs flew overhead.

23rd May email sent with request for a refund to frame/order email provided by sick. No response received. 28th May email sent for an update to a previous email. Response within an hour stating that my “.. request (36) has been updated”.

“This is a confirmation that your request has been assigned, you will be updated in due course

Thank you for bearing with us during this difficult time, but rest assured the company is still trading and will work to a resolution as quickly as we physically can”

A titanium frame has been ordered no. 4(possibly 5) in March 2018. I’m aware of a titanium frame no. 25 been received early this year. 20 customers somehow skipped the queue.
Been told by Jordan over live ig feed that my frame should have been already delivered to me.
No refund, no communication from sick.

Weren’t you speaking to a solicitor about this? How far down that road are you?

dinde111 surely Jordan has a record of the frame being shipped with tracking details etc? If he says it should be with you then he must have a tracking number, unless the pigeon gang he uses never returned and have sold it to buy grain, hes a dishonest shady character at best.

If he says it should be with you then he must have a tracking number

Look carefully at the language used. “Should”. If I pay for something, I should receive it. Doesn’t mean I will, for any number of reasons.

ah yeah I get that just wondering whether Jordan had offered the tracking number that he should have, I know full well it’ll actually be the phone number of the local chippy but we all live in hope 🙂

You got me mate. Ain’t nobody got that much time on their hands.

I too have followed this thread from day one. To me, it’s not unlike the TV show Dexter from a few years ago- I suspect it might similarly end with a baffling conclusion frustrating many thousands of people feeling literally and figuratively short changed.

About a year ago, I sent my old pair of 24/7 Dark Angel bars -at my own expense to them as a gesture towards the construction of some welded bars which I believe they received a couple of samples. They were handsome looking things too imo. It’s small beer here, but they kindly offered me a pair of the new ones as a reward for my generosity which was at the time, quite a generous offer I thought. Needless to say that never happend. I was and still am happy that I was able to send something of mine that might have helped develop something cool, I’m only miffed that it never became a thing for the wider customer base. I reckon they’d have been a good seller for them. That was long before the frame shipment debacle, but the writing was on the wall way back. For the record I don’t happen to think there is a scam at play, I think they got in over their heads. Doing so with apparently lots of people’s money.. eeek.

I think they got in over their heads

That’s why children should always be kept under adult supervision. One minute they’re splashing around having a great time, next thing you know, they’ve drowned and everyone’s saying “But they were such lovely kids.”

Ha, the reality ain’t like that happy scene it’s more like this

Happy new year from the sick boys.

This looks a good alternative 🙂

They called it a ‘platform’. I’m out.

Jeez…. their tattooing looks as shit as their ability to run a bike company
