Foffa Bikes

The point is they are POS being passed off as quality vintage builds - no one objects to someone turning a profit, what i object to is someone wasting their money.

Fine - absolutely take your point, poor value compared with some of the alternatives - but pretty sure there's knowledgable people involved in this latest lfgss slanging match who own any number of fairly average components with a bit of blurb behind it (531, njs, track anything) and not blink at a stupid mark-up.

And to answer those who say at least Unipacks are designed for purpose - well so what? The conversion market is huge because, at the end of the day, an old racer frame makes a pretty passable fixed gear bike and there are loads of them about at the end of their first lives.

Really my point is, I just get a bit bored of people on here ripping average bikes/bits/people apart with brutal mob mentality if they don't quite fit in with some piece of second-hand forum received wisdom.

And just to make it clear, I have no affiliation whatsoever with these people (Foffa).
