    Do anything you wanna do. Is the right title (and probably, sentiment).
    Deal with the karma

  • I'd also say that stealing a large company's logo is very different from exploiting a small independent company. A large company won't feel it, the smaller one can be really hurt by it.

    eh? one or t'other I would have thought Roxy - otherwise who's to decide at what level/size of company it becomes 'ok' to distort or appropriate their identity?

    I didn't say that either is Aok, just that they are different levels of unethicalness

  • Oh just get a sticker from an Apollo bicycles and stick it to that frame.

    should keep the theft eyes at bay (at least).

  • *Dave Robson

    *or something else that sounds like it'd come out of a northern blokes shed.

  • Alfie Noakes

  • Yossarian

  • Peter Death

  • Cover it in Roxy's photographs, paste them on and then clear coat it - then finish it off with a big 'ROXY 1000 logo.

    what are you suggesting roxy, that this is a level of unethicalness! :^]

  • I agree with the car analogy. Like putting a Ferrari body on a cortina chassis. I just bought a raleigh 531 frame frome the bay that has been rebadged as a Rossin - and I figured that's why I got it cheap @ £30 with a 600 chainset. Those Rossin decals came straight off. But also - it's your bike and you should do whatever makes you happy. I have some Litespeed decals if you're interested. ;)

  • Freddy and the Dreamers

    we've since split up. It was over an argument as to whether to engrave NJS on a langster.

  • NJS on a langster.

    that sums up this whole debate!

    never mind if it's right or wrong, you'll look like a twat to those in the know.*

                                                                       *and looking cool to others is everything.
    
  • whats wrong with old claud butlers? the new mass produced ones suck yeah, but the old ones were hand made in Clapham out of 531.

    Would you rebrand your shonky £2 pumps as Sidi's? No.

    !

    Whoops, you are quite right, I got it wrong.

    Great song. :)

  • levels of un-ethicalness? ... Um can you be a 'little' bit pregnant?

    i have a bulmers cider sticker on my gazelle, which company am i being unethical to?

  • love the hot rods, but was Manfred Mann first, with some pretty stupid lyrics:

    "I don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be
    Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see"

  • I don't know about an "ethical" opinion but I wouldn't bother farting about with logos, just blank it. Technically it's not illegal unless you try to pass it off as the genuine article.

  • winston, it doesn't matter because I'm currently looking after No1 through Gary Gilmore's eyes.

  • My Mum's cousin was in the Adverts

  • Did he/she cross the Red sea with them?

  • I agree with roxy but then I own an artisan hand build bike and I don't want some scruffy herbert perloining may makers mark and sticking it to some mongrel bike built in a Chinese sweat factory by childen coercesed to work sixteen hours a day for tuppence an hour . Incidently I find that if you have to ASK if something is wrong that deep down you probably know that you shouldn't do it.

  • When I was racing as a kid my track bike and my road bike (apart from being totally built up from second-hand parts) were both resprayed and rebadged as Geoffrey Butlers....could never have afforded a real one....don't know how that makes me feel about this issue now.

    Do what you want, ignore everyone elses opinions, just don't attempt to sell it as something it's not.

  • 1960's jerseys from the St Raphael team - hmmmmm that grey and orange one looks familiar…

  • when there's doubt, there's no doubt.
