For Sale: Swagger bikes

How much are these bikes?

Aparrently they are spec less and priceless.

Not a good way to start or run a business.

No need to get upset,I tell you what, I am looking for someone to sponsor,would you be interested,seeing as you are easily lead:) Now stop this silly bullocks before I go into one about the FGLND's bike builds.

You really are very bitter aren't you. Andy's been around for years doing his thing, you think 'great, I'm gonna have a go at this fixedwheel building lark'
Then 14 & Co setup before you and you then proceed in slating all your competitors? Tosser!

Cracks me up the way OOL thinks he has this amazing brainwave setting up a customisation of bikes business. He takes the piss out of people(his potential customers) jumping on a 'scene' yet myself and many others on this board have been riding fixed for years. Do you think no-one else has had this revelation or something? Mate, you're 2 years too late, move on, do something else as you sure as hell have no clue how to build decent, marketable affordable bikes. Why are you building bikes ready to go when anyone with a bit of nouse can just do it themselves? It takes what, 2/3 hours max to build a bike from start to finish. People are not gonna pay for shite like you're building...

+1 - this chap has a really odd attitude - not like anything I have experienced on here in the past.

if you're such a shrewd business man surely you would have been in on this trend earlier?

You missed this of "T".
You have a point but its all down to the price, afterall people buy unipack.

I seriously can't work out who OOL's market is? And like Fred mentions above, if he only aims to sell 1 bike a week then he really isn't the shrewd businessman he so readily believes.
He's just some toerag that ironically enough has jumped on a 'scene'(his words, not mine) and is trying to exploit the muppets that have read about it in Loaded and The Guardian......
I'm still in disbelief at this twats arrogance.....

Neither can he.
You dropped this again T.

T, T? What you talking about?

Goes before OOL

Ahhhhhhh, penny's just dropped!

Judging from the other efforts he's been trying to sell on ebay I can't see him trying to sell them for any less than a grand which is about £500 overpriced

If his target market is ignorant mugs with more money than sense then there could be a potential £3/400 markup on the cost of parts, assuming doing the builds in own time and not factoring that in.
£400 a week is more than i earn most of the time so he could do worse.
Still, clearly not trying to sell people on here his bikes as everyone will see through the smoke and mirrors to a pile of high end parts on an unnamed frame which he wont even give specs for that could be built in a weekend by a retard.

Seriously though, good luck. The start of any 'business' is harsh.

Hello Max,been awhile. You pop up,about as much as your shop. Here I've got a couple of ideas for your line as well CHINAFIXEDGEAR,PAKISTANFIXEDGEAR,CUBAFIXEDGEAR,OR MY FAV.JAMAICAFIXEDGEAR yeah mon.I hope all is well with you over there in Tokyo. Take care my geographically confused friend:)

JAMAICAFIXEDGEAR it is.

It's about exploitation and value for money though. How arrogant is it of him to think that people will pay a grand for these bikes when they can buy all the bits and do it themselves for less and to their correct spec. If he did this 3 years ago I could understand but he's totally missed the boat, there's hundreds of people doing a better job than he is and all the once hard to find components are ten a penny on numerous, easy to find websites.
Again, I am only assuming but I can guess that he is buying the parts at retail value, not cost/wholesale therefore making these bikes way too expensive to sell to any half knowledgable, potential customer

You have to remember though that there is a market for thick hipsters who've never turned a spanner in their life and wouldn't think to hunt for parts and put the time in for the build. I know plenty of people who ride every day and maintain their bikes but would be daunted at the thought of building one.
This is where people like OOL step in and provide a 'custom' bike service telling people what parts they should buy as they will be none the wiser.
Unscrupulous yes, unprofitable though?

But you're right. 3 years late. At least.

Oh and sorry pistanator, i'm not disagreeing with you at all. The more i look at the bike the less i like it. Just trying to provide a counterpoint argument as OOL has disappeared and wont explain himself or his business model.

Wasn't there talk of a LFGSS frame at some point a while back?

Why is it unscrupulous? If people want to pay for it, let them.

and what is the price?

Again, I am only assuming but I can guess that he is buying the parts at retail value, not cost/wholesale therefore making these bikes way too expensive to sell to any half knowledgable, potential customer

from what he said, he managed to get all the item for less than RRP prices.

it's a joke, surely?

I lol'd.

Is that a paint run on the lug on the headtube?

oh god...

you must be made up, no-one lacks self awareness to this extent, surely.
