I'll happily add my name to the list of those who feel the constant trolling and slagging off of Foffa is a bit much.
Credit where credit's due, Foffa has grown from one guy tarting flipping some old bangers to a business that's collaborated with some pretty big brands, they're available (or at least have been sighted/seem to be being advertised) in multiple countries, they seem to employ a least a few guys...
As many have said, there's plenty of
buyersmugs that'll cough up the cash for a Foffa and there's also plenty of other brands that are happy to make a quick and easy buck on the back of the explosion in the popularity of cycling and the inexperience and laziness of the majority of the market.Being able to choose the colour of the grease in your hubs may not bother 90% of the usership of LFGSS but as Velocio's anecdote about his Create owning pal shows, for some buyers it's important. And looking at how Foffa has grown and the number of other paint by numbers brands that exist its a sizeable portion of the market.
Apart from anything else, there's zero need to lambast the merchandise when Danni pours the shit all over himself so adeptly. I bet even if the Foffa range had been received with nought but praise he'd find a way of making himself look like an utter knob.
TLDR - Slagging the Foffa brand is getting old. What they do and how they do it isn't new or unusual and IMO Danni's utter social retardation is worthy of way more attention anyway.
