General shit

You phrase this article like you were sent something/actually had anything to do with the frame in question. Is that true or are you just cut and pasting from other people?

pretty much cut and pasted from prolly.......ouch.

Almost all the content is nicked from prolly's blog. Laughable. Nout wrong with grabbing a link here and there but without any original content, you've got to wonder what the poitn of the website is!

Hey there,
I wanted to send you a few teaser pictures of our new freestyle frame in production. I've included some information about the new frame below, and I have also attached some pictures to this email for you to check out. You can also view the full story on our blog if that would be easier for you.

LOL

i wish i could make this lol 2000px big but i cant.

i used to get a shit load of emails from companies wanting their shit blogged but i didnt because i wanted it to be just about actual newcastle stuff.... which is why it never really got going cause not that much really happens here during winter.

also, LOL, http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&q=fixed+gear+newcastle&aq=f&aqi=g1g-b1&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=9aaa64e8ed4acd4

lol.........I better check with you first then eh?

is that your riding or blog you are on about in winter. Anyway be nice. That's what us geordies are known for being canny....

not much riding news in winter hence the lack of posts.

i dont use it anymore anyway

I take on board what you's have said. Cheers Phil. nice photo's on your flickr by the way.....

To actually give a bit of constructive criticism - the reason there's an amount of animosity towards you and the blog is likely due to the fact that:
a) you claim to be bringing fixed gear to the NE, but it's been here fore a while.
b) there is/was already a newcastle fg blog.
c) your site lacks local content or any original content.
d) there's a million and one fg blogs which are the same (does a Newcastle fg site need a post about a race in portland for example?)
e) the use of the word fixie
f) the site seems to act as if it's a representative of fixed gear riders in the north east yet no one here seems to know you.
g) there's a certain rhetoric about "fixie riders" that keeps popping up as if we're all the same and follow a certain culture and style religiously and that's really not the case.

I'm not trying to be a cunt here, just my 2p. Not a terrible site per se but nothing we haven't seen a million times before either.
