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.
Apologies but just to be clear. They’ve known each other for years as the connection goes back to art school. They should be well aware of his views and in any case, I would expect so prior to building the bike.
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.
