FFS Alex, you're like a self-righteous dog with a bone. Whine, whine, feckin whine.
me and about 3-4 guys could make them frames(or any frames) in the uk and retail them at that price, piece of piss. I wouldn't ride a bike that light though, i could snap a grifter. In house bmx, uk made. anybody want to throw some brass in and get a company going? (engineers only need apply and one loaded muthafooker)

The fact that is no material in the frame where it is needed and that there never was any special heat treatment process to compensate for the consequences of removing so much metal from a frame.

1, that was actually an ex-fiola performer, how does that make you feel? it was over ten years old at the time and wasn't under warranty. if i snapped my under warranty frame i wouldnt be trying to bend it further, as im sure a company wouldnt warranty a bike that had appeared to be deliberately damaged.do you have evidence of kids bending the toptube on the uk bike?as soon as it was announced that the frame was 1 pound lighter than similar rivals i was curious, but when asked why it was lighter and the answer was 'a secret process', i called bullshit.2, christ, every step of the way this uk bike co have been proved to be badly designed, badly built, badly marketed, ugly, and weak. the guy in charge has been proven to be a liar and the team riders rode other bikes, how much evidence do you need to admit uk bike co was a waste of time?3, it keeps reverting to this 'slag them because theyre new', which simply is not the case. lots of new companies have thrived out of the uk in the last ten years, purely by having a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to design, marketing, and PROMISES.
1hr of my life i will never get back.
Cant believe they fooked that performer.
