Tony Malone - Old Kent Road Cycles - his new venture?

asm "the world's most advanced bicycles"

Judging by the quality of his site design, it's not too hard to imagine dafoney's idea of an advanced bicycle is one with machine-guns and rocket-launchers. And maybe some fins and a huge booster rocket on the back.

it is appallingly ugly for someone who's supposed to be a "designer"

In the small print:

A brand of the Witcomb Trading Company Ltd.

The only thing Witcomb's traded is his self-respect and dignity for Dafoney's promise of riches.

noticed this on me mates bike on the club run this morning - oops once again tony dafoney malone

rebadged 3t anatomic bars :yawn:

nah - tony didn't rebadge…

young tony hasn't run his company name 'morpheus advanced bicycles' through trademarks and copyrights -

morpheus is an existing name used by a company operating in the same sector - not very clever when bicycling components are part of your offering

I don't understand, so those bars are badged by the real Morpheus?

the font and colours look the same

It was a product range by 3T IIRC. Don't think they still make them though, might be wrong.

RPM I don't understand, so those bars are badged by the real Morpheus?

the font and colours look the same

what! - you mean that dafony would take an existing name and marque and pass it off as his own work -

how dare you sir, that would be the work of a cad and a bounder, the type of chap that would use mercians barber pole signature paint style on his own bike 'designs'…

ohhhh…

morpheus bikes better be able to give you the abilty to dodge bullets and fly, and give you a choice of two pills.
Or Else

close up, the font isn't the same. the one on the bars is an actual design.

it's a good job nobody's told the real morpheus about this

now I see it's a 3tt bar that's called morpheus.

not sure how that works...

Halfords successfuly forced Banshee bikes to change their name in the UK just because halfords had one own brand bike called a carrerra banshee...

copyright is like women:

size matters, and who was there first.

So, I have 3ttt's email address.

I believe that the site/concept was 'designed' by a certain Tony Malone of Design For Diversity.

Thanks Jonathan for pointing us to these sites. In march 2007 the 3T brand name changed ownership, and the issues you refer to relate to the previous owner. But I am sure we as the New 3T will face similar issues, so appreciate if you let us know when you see anything more!

Rgds,

whahey!

So is this thing officially dead? I mean it says images are expected in Jan 2008

Also what happened to the thread about the Lecture he was doing. Did I miss something.

he teamed up with Alice Fisher to do an piece in the observer

really? damm must've missed that. Oh hang on thats this week isn't it?

*checks webshite.

Riding a bicycle without brakes sounds like a rash move, but a wave of cyclists are eschewing traditional bikes for a stripped-down machine known as a fixed-gear.

She's got her finger on the pulse has Alice Fisher.

Ah. I see there is a thread for this already:
http://londonfgss.com/discussion/4895/fixedgear-article-in-the-observer-9th-march/#Item_0

chris crash he teamed up with Alice Fisher to do an piece in the observer

Isn't it charming how Tony Malone is listed as a notable resident of [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deptford]Deptford[/ame] alongside others such other luminaries as Danny Baker and Vic Reeves...
