What a load of crap! That certainly is not how these bikes are marketed! If they expect me to spend what a small car costs on a bicycle, my expectation will be proportionate. Most commentators out there only fawn all over these over-hyped, over-priced heaps of shit without any objectivity at all. My wallet is grateful there’s a Hambini in the world, preventing me from getting gobbled up by some multi-national marketing campaign.

My experience is with motorcycles more than cars but if your plastic bike was as woefully poorly toleranced as the motorbikes I’ve worked on then your bottom bracket wouldn’t creak, it wouldn’t even turn under the power you are delivering to it.
He seems to be a very competent engineer, but he seems to expect a lot of consumer/mass produced recreational sports gear. And quite why he's so obsessed with shitting on other businesses I don't know. Massive ego? Cripplingly low self-esteem? Sure, he's trying to run his own business, but calling everyone else an incompetent cunt while proclaiming that you're the second coming of BBesus doesn't exactly scream of honesty.
I'm not sure if he's a chartered engineer or not, but if he is I'm sure whichever institute he's with wouldn't be too happy to have him setting such a shitty example.
Tl;Dr: he's not necessarily wrong. Just a massive asshole.
