Are you people serious?!?!?!?!??!? You give people such a hard time for conversions, this is a completely fucked idea!!!!!!!
For f*ck's sake, of course this is unethical. Plus it's technically illegal. You do not own the rights to use other people's logo however you like.
Yes of course this happens. Drivers hit bicyclists then call their lawyers before an ambulance too.
If you don't like the bike, yes do what you want, you own the bike, but you don't own other people's name. You do not deserve the right to put their name to something they didn't do!!!!
It's entirely a different story to take a frame, rebuild it, and put your own name to it.
While there are still ethical questions there, at least you're putting your own name on it instead of somebody else's.
And since all the guys here are totally sweating your name and, like, wanna, have your babies, why don't you exploit that sh*t! Make yourself a catch-22 bike. Be a man, put your own name on your work, not somebody else's.
