Foffa Bikes

It's still in the wrong part of darknet though... Should be forum 42 not 36...

It's annoying me because I normally only go in the bits of the forum with a 4 in the number...

at this whole sorry thread.

So I've been busy gathering quotes from this thread to get a snap shot of what's happened here, so hopefully everyone's happy.
Foffa have a thread in the open outlining the good the bad and the ugly and this thread gets nuked. Will this please the masses?
I wanted to check with everyone first since people are clearly passionate about this.

Someone said sex scandal and I got here as quick as I could.

No, they said sex sandals. These are my sex sandals, I never have sex without them on paired with a super sexy pair of wool socks.

PM Velo libre.

Will they care?

Oh Joe, of course they will

I can't find it.

I rode Paris-Roubaix on the weekend. It has cobbles. It was long. I am hungry. Somebody has pie for me?

Fuck yeah!

Hi all,

It seems that a few forum followers are upset that this Thread has been moved to a private thread. This was requested after it was discovered that not all of our customers read the long thread and get the wrong impression of what was going on. As we have taken on board what has been said on the forum and acted on some of the negative aspects, we would hope we deserve a second chance. So to have a summary of the good points and bad points posted*publicly*would keep it fair for all involved. I dare say that will spark comments again but if some one has a better suggestion please come forward directly with that.

It still seems a shame that forum users don't come forward to us when throwing accusations around that do actually effect the lives of others. Ours is a new business trying to listen to its customers and riders alike in London and beyond. We are open to feedback but not slander or misinformed information that may effect the business.

We have clearly stated that the dealings with Ian McPherson is no longer in place. In fact Ian's behaviour and the feedback from forum users resulted in us deciding to part ways with him.

As everyone is aware companies like us often provide their products to people to try out & use to give feedback on the design & feel of the item. We have provided Joni (Wicksie) with a bike to be used for her polo playing so that she can give us feedback on the product first hand. That same offer goes to HarryMajor and Velolibre to try the Prima for themselves before making judgements on a product they have never tried. Simply get in touch and I am sure we can also provide you with a bike to try so that if you want to be constructive you can give us feedback to make it better.

We are actually trying to listen to our customers and follow up on suggestions of providing a better product for better prices without churning out chinese rubbish like the cheaper brands on the market, etc. We are also aware that not everyone can afford the services of shops like 14 bike co.*

For those of you that think you can do a better job than we are doing then please come to the shop and join our team as I am sure we would all love to provide a better product whilst at the same time make some money to pay the rent etc.

We are sorry to hear that some of you are not happy with you what you do. But at least give someone a chance to provide a service where we do actually listen to feedback etc.

We will be having another open night with more drinks, dj, etc. after the next critical mass and invite those of you that have not yet come to the shop to swing by and say hello.*

Cheers,

dani

it seems a solution has been found. please understand dani, it is not a personal thing wishing the downfall of your business, just that accurate information on what happened (which you'd have to read 20 pages to get) was available as it seemed to be a cover up of sorts especially considering joni's relationship with foffa (free loaned bike). all the best.

Fife 4, Foffa 5.

Foffa will now meet Forfar in the next round.

I always had you pegged as a Hamilton Academicals man.

Yoink!

Ahhh!

I hate foffa's bikes... Can I have a free one too? :)

joni I'm sure anyone who doesn't like it willcomment on the thread in general, but don't delete this thread, it's pretty funny in places! :)

Hello, I missed most of this fun over the last couple of days, probably because it would be a faux-pas for the popcorn thread to link to Darknet. Oh well.

My first observation would be that instead of moving the thread to Darknet, Wicksie could have edited the OP to include a disclaimer, along the lines of

"This thread is long and winding, but the upshot of it is that Foffa bikes were bad and then did loads of work to be less bad and are now quite good. Read on if you take vicarious pleasure form other people's disputes."

My second observation (@VB) is that it would be a good idea to make it impossible to move threads OUT of Darknet.

Crumble FTW.

You people are sick. Sponge/cream cake, cheesecake, yes. But mushing up fruit and baking it in biscuit crumbs, wrong.
