I don't get the level of malice people on here seem to have for Mr Foffa. It's very personal. Is it really just that he runs a company that puts out products that are considered inferior? Or has he been a presence here in the past and given people a bad impression of himself as a person? If it's the former then there are surely a fair few companies which have so far evaded such harsh criticism. I assume there is a feeling that he is cashing in on the fad for fixies? Genuinely interested to know, I feel like I may have missed something.
Passing off shitty rebuilds as 'vintage', then passing off shitty Chinese tanks as 'bespoke' because they came in multiple colours pissed off people who can make a bike out of spare bits with their eyes shut and think bespoke means tubes cut and brazed to measure. Because it was paradigmatic of the money grubbing cunts who came in and milked the fixed gear scene for cash. Basically. Imagine someone selling you smelly raw fish carcass and claiming it was sushi.
