Bike Mielec

u

I'm kinda undecided on this.

on the other hand andrew makes them in a small shop and copying might be seen as copyright violation and one might consider copying a frame made by a bigger company more ok than of a smaller one.

but then again when people start copying what you've created that might be the most significant sign telling you that you've made something good.

anyways, I don't think that people who wanted a LOW// would go for a mielec copy instead since they wan't a LOW// just because of that it's a LOW//. So andrew won't be loosing money on these copies since the money directed to those by consumers would never be spent on his creations.

my 2cents

It would never be a copyright violation. What it could be is a design violation, trademark violation or a patent violation.

But since Mielec don´t actually manufacture frames with LOW// decals on, they aren´t copying anything. The only thing they copy is the geometry, and since the geometry isn´t uniq, it´s not a violation.

The fact that the costumer orders a specific geometry similar to LOW´s geometry and puts LOW decals on, isn´t a violation either, since the costumer doesn´t have a commercial use/purpose.
