there are a million and one average bike companies that churn out average middle of the range stuff, market it well and sell it for way more than its worth. Look at Ritte, they are a prime example of overpriced bike kit. Wheres their hate thread? What about Genesis? anyone FUCKING HATE them too?
I dont think i will ever ride a Foffa bike but they arent there for people like me, they are there for people like my mate who hasnt ridden a bike in 10/15 years, bought a foffa ss and rides it to work. He loves it to bits, has had it for probably 2 years and it still works just fine. If it was me i would have told him to get a Dolan Precursa, which is nicer and cheaper but he has deffo got his moneys worth. Condor are a great name but ive been in there and seen their shop assistants literally taking customers to the cleaners for all they are worth. Wanna start a hate thread on them too?
How can you call me the moral police when there is this constant campaign of holier than thou opprobrium to this guy and his average bike company on here? Theres a genuinely nasty side to it. People sue and win for not much more. Take the piss by all means (the hi-pro deserves some criticism for sure) but the bikes arent those dangerous wrecks from 4 years ago anymore. The guy has done pretty well since then.
They arent bikes for this forum. Obviously. but they arent that bad either. Not every person that has a go at Foffa is a cunt but the combined campaign over time is pretty cunty tbh. The trolls like Dancing James etc are awful though. They do it elsewhere too and i wish they would take it elsewhere
