It's unlikely that Ashley is much worse than the venture capitalists who owned Evans previously. Main difference is Ashley is a public figure, the other lot are anonymous.
On that subject, it would be interesting to see the numbers of the previous owners. I wonder how much was paid out in fees and charges before they wrote off most of the debt and left others to sort out the mess?

Buy one on eBay?

I was planning on buying a Pinnacle Neon 1 to replace my knackered commuter as it ticks almost all of my boxes (1x, 700c, no-DBAD, flat bars, mudguards/rack compatible, under £400, <10kg) and I can't find a viable alternative.
Do I give Ashley some money or should I wait for a deal, get it for cheaper and then donate the money saved to a good cause?
I wouldn't be concerned about repairs or after-sales care as I can do that myself.
One the one side it's giving money to Ashley, but then it's helping keep Evans going a bit longer and I was about to buy the bike had Evans not been bought by him.
