Who is the U.K equivilent of FAT City Cycles?

[NeilM]

so you need to own something in order to have a opinion about it? - well then I'm looking forward to the conclusion.

girlonbike your the best!

No, you can have an opinion about anything you like, based purely on personal belief, feelings and bias. That is the definition of the word opinion.

But to have an INFORMED opinion you must have some knowledge of the subject, otherwise your argument / opinion has no validity in fact.

In your case, you slam all British made bikes, and ridicule the OP's original question, based on nothing more than personal bias.

You appear to be the perfect example of someone entirely won over by marketing hype and advertising.

I am a huge fan of hand made frames especially, but not exclusively British hand made frames. I own examples from many well known and some almost unknown builders. I may resent the fact, or possibly celebrate the fact that Fat Chance bikes sell for far more money that many of my hand made beauties, but, I can say nothing against Fat Chance bikes, as I have never owned, never ridden, and barely ever looked at a Fat Chance. They may be great, they may be shyte, I have no idea, so I cannot voice an informed opinion, and so initially at least, as I felt I had nothing of interest to add to the thread, unlike you, I chose not to reply to the OP.

I can't help but see the irony of someone bigging up US 'frame houses', and names himself after a company who's bikes in the late 80's had horribly outdated geometry, a frame design cunningly fabricated to hold as much mud as possible, and generally broke

throw shit about me and my testicles, - so adult, but is surely a sign of inability to express themselves.

Respectfully yours,

I promise to never throw shit about your testicles, if that helps.

To be fair no body actually commented on your "bollocks" just that you were spouting bollocks !
Just for your information.. If something is described as the "bollocks" it means it's really good, hence Roberts's Dogs Bollox !
However spouting bollocks means you are talking out your arse !
I hope this is helpful !

 

[NeilM]

You stood next to one :shock:

That's it , I'm never talking to you again

I couldn't help it, the bike belonged to the guy leading the ride.

I tried to look the other way, but when someone's talking to you it's impolite not to look at them, and inevitably I ended up looking at the bike to see what he was riding... it was a Fat Chance. :facepalm:

Throwing sh-t ? Spouting bollocks ? Talking outa your arse ?
Fcuk it , who needs Sunday TV when you can get entertainment like this . Don't even need a licence .
I don't want to offend anyone , but just get out on the bikes you choose to build and enjoy them for what they are . Or stick 'em to the wall if that does it for you .

Or get some chill pills . Someone had some for sale earlier !
No , not me :roll:


NeilM , When I see you at Honc , I'm still not talking to you
BTW I'll be the one with the green and black Scott , so you know not to talk to me :roll: :facepalm:

"the bollocks" vs "bollocks" is maybe the closest the British language comes to irony

 

[legrandefromage]

Irony? Britain? You are surely being ironic. We tried to teach the rest of the world irony but due to dyslexia they all went and built bridges and large buildings instead...
