how do you actually go about affording a custom Field bike
The Field bike is a collaboration so maybe they went 50/50 on all costs.
I messaged Field and made them aware of the thread. They replied: Thanks for the message - I am not a member of the forum . I don’t share some of Thoms views but I do share his love of cycling and well made things. It was the YOMP - your own marching pace sentiment that I could relate to. Hopefully the bike we built and cycling in general will continue to be a positive influence. Ta Harry
I made them aware of the thread. I made them aware they didn’t need to be members to read it.
Therefore they are aware of the thread, the content of the thread and Thom’s contributions.
Bottom line is: they know Thom and his views but don’t share some of them. They relate to yomp and yomping. Are happy with the collaboration.

So you've been giving the people whose intellectual property you've been skimming a couple of quid on all of the "designs" you're making which are "inspired" by their content?
Such as the small "local" factories in Japan that are scraping a living on £165 shirts?
Also just wondering seeing as you're taking this good guy stance and portraying yourself as a woebegotten creative who isn't making any money from all of these ripoffs, how do you actually go about affording a custom Field bike and all of the other trappings of luxury synonymous with life up North?
