You only have to look at towny hi pro and webby lo pro to know that he hasn't consulted anyone with any knowledge about anything.
There's numerous ways Danni could have attracted budding designers to work for him and monetary payment is only one of those ways. So far he has offered no incentive.
The hi-pro bike a number of people have already said they quite like the look of, others don't, this is perfectly normal - I happen to think that pretty much everything Charge make is a bit pants but lots of people are very happy with their plugs etc. The webby lo-pro bike has webbing that would probably add about 500lbs to the weight of the frame if it were literally made as per the sketch.
However, it's a concept bike and one thing I am used to seeing is concept sketches/designs. And the difference between those and the finished article is often vast. It was brave of DF to post that pic on here but possibly also a bit daft, considering how many negative posters/people there are here.
I take it then that you've spoken with him and know he's not been in contact with any designers or not had anyone looking into the design elements of projects with him? And you also know from speaking with him that he's not offered anyone any incentive to help with the design side of things? I probably shouldn't be asking as from your posts you obviously know the guy quite well.
