He responded and still seemed like a dick, just a little less than before. Still though, since when do you only have to be accountable for the very last thing you said (or posted)? Also his edit is a little sus.
I don't think it's personal for anyone. Most people only know that dude from what he posted here, but if you are going to buy a bike with a name on it, and the dude with that name is a dick who has a history of flogging shit and calling it champagne, that factors into your decision doesn't it?
If Dani Charge came in here talking about how his Plug was fully bespoke because you could choose which Charge saddle you wanted and was generally a dick, I bet opinions on Charge bikes would be a little more negative too.
In conclusion: These bikes suck, even if the very latest latest ones are better than the ones before. If you buy something with a name on it you are allowed to consider what or who is behind that name. Somebody who didn't know should be allowed to read this thread so that they can decide whether or not they want to be riding around with 'foffa' on their bike.
Even if you only read his posts with none of the negativity around it, I don't know how you could do that and not, at the very least, get your bike powdercoated directly after purchase.
Happy Easter,
