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.
