Any bikes, frames, brands, parts that are above reproach?

Mmm..interesting but you need to add a time frame (yes, I know this is retro but you know)
for example....Merlin without doubt...from my experience 96/97 produced superb frames.
Litespeed...arounfd the Millenium
Kona...still good now?

It was highly amusing . We were camping right next to them ( there were 2 of them not sure if they were together ) and they always had a crowd around them . Ed wasn't exactly quiet either

Ouch 7k worth of insult dealt effortlessly .

One of the owners was a nice chap , I got chatting to him and he wasn't a dick in the slightest , he just had an ugly bike

think every bike company's made some howler in their past
think mebee tom ritchey is the only one i can think of ,but i know nothing about his road bikes
remember reputations are lost in a blink
do think the corporate/venture thing makes true artisans build or liscence
crap tho

jones bikes are cool as tho
