My thoughts too. Can we therefore assume his collaborators align with him in his views...the likes of Rapha, Kibosh, Albam, Field Cycles etc etc. I still want to know his motivation for ripping off RSF, their badge and their Instagram feed.

Pretty self explanatory. The inauthentic will always feed off the authentic for substance.

That badge, replete with it's beige tentacle vector glitch, is still up on Mamnick Tokyo instagram feed so presumably news hasn't filtered through to the Japanese wing of the operation...

I'd never heard of Kibosh until today - so the association is raising awareness.
However, their association also suggests that they approve of Mamnick's racist and misogynistic views, which to me fundamentally contradict one of the main beauties of cycling - that you can meet anyone on the road and share the wind with them, regardless of colour or creed.
Pushing a rent-an-identity, alt-right agenda in cycling is not cool, and I personally will be avoiding any brand which is associated with that.
