The way I see it the guy has worked hard, jacked in his secure job to do something he enjoys and try and make a buck or two out of it.
Like a lot of firms there have been a few hiccups, he seems to try to rectify them yet a number of people on the forum just refuse to accept he makes a product that has hit a niche and a lot of people are happy to buy. If people don't like it fine but I think this post would be affecting his business in a negative way and as much as I am happy to argue semantics (bespoke/OTP/custom) this is pretty shitty. Not everyone has the benefit of spending hours/days on bike forums, learning the hard way. My first ss bike 7-8 years ago was a create ffs so everyone starts somewhere.
I'd be happy to take one of his bikes for a spin rather than being critical without knowing the facts. Its like a Daily Mail fucking lynch mob at the moment and not sure wtf is going on with all the vitriol
