14 & co.bikes/shop

On1 I was disappointed as well but i don't think there is need to run a smear campaign against them.

there were a bunch of prototypes in TFG, they were doing custom orders at first (the broken promises) but took too long to get organised so I did a duncan bannatyne,

the prototypes looked quite good but the dropouts looked weak and the joinery was a bit rushed. On1 is right the finish was a bit poor in parts, but that was a first batch of prototypes which had to be rushed out so people could see that there was progress being made. The company they are using to spray all their bikes recently did 50 cent's new whip.

If they do it right, they have a lot of potential as the guys behind it have good intentions and priced pretty competitively. Contrary to belief the frames are not road refurbs, they are made by Lee Cooper who's one of the guys behind Bob jackson.

Lee Cooper? As in jeans! Awesome, hipster gold-dust.

Can we get a more concise wording of what the hell is going on here? Since Aleksi's saying something, there is certainly something going on, but I sure as hell can't work out what?

A classic fgss list please?

On1 I was don't as well but i there against dissapointed is need to run a think smear campaign meht.

was a prototypes bunch of in TFG, they were custom orders at first there (the broken promises) long but took too to get organised so doing I did a duncan bannatyne,

the batch progress prototypes looked good in but the dropouts poor company looked weak the joinery was a bit. recently On1 is rushed right the was a bit in parts finish that and was a first of protoypes which had to be but rushed out so people could see that there was being made. The they are using to spray all principle their bikes did 50 cent's new whip.

If they do it Lee right, priced potential they have competitively a lot of as the behind it have intentions good and behind pretty. Contrary jackson to belief guys Cooper the frames are not road refurbs, they are made by who's one of the guys Bob.

Yes the frames were in the shop & I think any one who saw them can agree they were pretty beatiful and for those that care excellently made by Lee Cooper. I think this post is a bit insulting considering there are lots of people with great passion for cycling behind this 14 project , you shouldnt blindly slate it because you feel hard done by. Sorry to rise...

14 Bike Co are a new company who make bicycles. The person who makes them is Lee Cooper-look at Mr Smith's list of independent framemakers before you ridicule me.

They sent a couple of prototypes to TFG and were taking custom orders for a first batch just to get feedback etc. BUT they took too long to get anything sorted out. That is why a lot of people abandoned it and mr.langster's friends are disappointed. It is also why I didn't stick around and order one. (duncan bannatyne-"im ouut")

Furthermore the first batch which was sent for public approval was rushed out of the factory so the finish wasn't immaculate. The lugged and lugless models looked a bit rushed and they didn't have decals etc. The dropouts are the same ones which are used on BJ's which are laser cut to Lee Cooper's design but they didn't look very good.

All I was trying to say was that the bikes were not that bad and the people behind 14 Bike Co aren't money grabbing assholes, they just took a bit long to get anything sorted.

Mr.Langster wanted to let everyone know that 14 Bike Co are doing a launch type thing, but he is rubbing shit all over it as it clearly competes with his new "official" bike.

At Aleksi. Sorry, I wasn't trying to ridicule with the Lee Cooper quip, it's just a branding joke. Thanks for making stuff a little more clear anyway. Seems a pity they were rushed out, I'm guessing they could be quite nice. Rushed out due to funding issues? Also, what was your involvement in the project? I know you're out now, but were you just in for a prototype or a little more involved in the design? Sorry, it just seems interesting.

Mr. OOLang, lets have some teasers on your bike-building?

spooky! i was looking at that website earlier trying to find the price for a tubeset in response to bob jackson possibly made in taiwan shocker.

@tynan. I hit the comment button, but the Dark Overlord said I needed to spread my love.
Thank you for brightening my day, I've just got in from work and now going to bed.
Good night one and all.

Arnold is my frickin' hero. I am a fucking choirboy compared to him.

Predator is awesome. Been reading a book about Bodybuilders and they have loads about arnie before he was famous.

When I saw the 14 frames in TFG I thought they looked sweet. the geometry looked good and the head badge was really nice. Reminded me of the inverse for Icarus Bikes in boston - hell I want one of those. Didn't look too closely at the 14s though, so maybe they were a rush job, but for the price they seemed nicey.

The original post in this thread seems to have a lot of made up poop in it.

All will come out in the wash?

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Just another example of the fact that money cant buy class.

or is that "money cant buy good taste". Whatever. Apparently also applies to Uri Geller

Lee Cooper? As in jeans! Awesome, hipster gold-dust.

Not as awesome as Chuck's though…

It states clearly on the advert that those jeans are only good for "stunt fighting". In a real combat situation these jeans would fail!

Universal truth, applies to all threads!

PS
Clint is in fact the worlds hardest man.
He has conker like powers, in that he only hardens with age (BTW, that vinegar/airing cupboard trick never fooking works).
He is currently a 28563er.

Does anybody have any pics of said bikes?

+1 for Clint, although this is my favourite Clint.
