I think, before we all get too carried away, that we should ascertain that pisquaredbikes.com isn't a guerilla marketing ploy by Foffa, since the former makes the latter look
goodcompetentless of a fly-by-night chancer.A flat on the Goldhawk Road as premises for company registered 3 months ago and a drop-ship operation shifting boxed, unassembled Chinese crap direct to end users with no pre-delivery inspection. Does this seem like the future of the bicycle industry? More to the point, does a Pi² really look like good value, taking both the product and the pre- and after-sales service as a package, even at ⅔ of the price of a Mongoose Maurice from Wiggle*? Assuming no mechanical competence on the part of the buyer, half that difference is going to be swallowed up in paying a proper bike shop to assemble it, even if you can find a proper bike mechanic who would touch it with a ten foot pole.
