Hey hi. tmx here.
Kinda shaken, feeling hurt by some of the comments in here about me.
Please understand some important factors about the Superco marketing piece I wrote in 2007 promoting the company I shared with Doc at the time. It’s linked in this thread many pages back.
That writing was taken off the Superco website, written to give the history of the Superco co-founders. It was not a promo piece for or historical article about Brooklyn. Nor was it presented in such a way.
It’s fascinating someone saw fit to edit my own writing in an attempt to remove me from my own history.
Again, that was NOT written as a BMW history lesson. All the bikes (and brakes) featured in there were the ones Doc designed, fabricated and built himself. Not the shared bikes or Joe’s solo work, such as the Rubber Ducky and Shinburgers.
In fact, Doc didn’t want me to include anything about Bklyn in Superco PR/marketing. Nothing. Not even the historical evolution of his work. That was ridiculous to me. His building history had to be told in the announcement of our new company.
I actually wanted to mention everyone, the OG crew and Animal, Ged, Rob, Gabi, our global RM porn thread pals, everyone in the circle. Lenosky and Beach were the only ones to make his cut.
Alas, it was like pulling teeth without anesthesia to get him to finally agree to that which you read in the Landscape piece from Superco’s website.
He was hurting! Divorce is painful, even for a bike company. Even for a bike company whose partners had lost nearly all respect and understanding of what each other was bringing to the table. The Bklyn breakup was difficult for probably everyone. I’m assuming maybe in some ways for Joe too. As soon as Doc left they re-wrote their own history and omitted Doc from those first ten years. (Where were the criticisms from the bros about that?!)
My relationship to Doc’s work also seems to be in question within some posts on here. I supported Doc’s work for three times as many years as I was “the girlfriend”. (Good grief that’s petty misogyny.)
Some try to belittle my former role in Doc’s work for those twenty-plus years. But it should be noted I haven’t directly supported the work in about ten years, which is also the last time he did a production run or had any media buzz about whatever groundbreaking cutting edge creation he’s built for himself.
