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.
I wonder at what point they would draw the line.
HousecatHST-
It’s not really an ongoing collaboration with field is it? I just read it as they’d made him a bike, assumingly at a significant discount because the exposure benefits them, is there much they can do at this point? As far as I’m aware they don’t promote him through their brand in any way.

presumably when one of his odious opinions is directed towards them / someone they care about. until then - hey, he likes bikes as much as we do so why should we care?

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.
