Hehe some amusing comments and assumptions here.
Let me chime in so we are all up to speed and don't have to spread any nasty rumors as Im sure nobody here would want anyone to talk about them like they talk about me....
1. Clarity. My frames are NOT Alibaba copies lol. They come from Tantan, Carbonda, Lightcarbon, Workswell, Hong Fu/Deng Fu etc who make bikes for Thesis, Lapierre, Bianchi, Cannondale, Stevens, KHS, Ribble, Planet X, De Rosa Nove. My sellers are LEGIT Alibaba sellers. Not the fake Chinarello stuff that god knows who is making and if it safe or not. My bikes come from the fav OEM factories that make everyones fav Chinese carbon bikes that sell for proper price or stupidly high price depending on what sticker they put on it in Italy... ;)
2. Investment. Ive spent over 200k getting to this point in my bicycle business. Buying, testing, reviewing, owning, interviewing etc staff and products from cycling and getting hands on experience with over 22 years of racing under my belt. When I put my name to a product it means it is LEGIT.
3. I have a massive social media presence and not everyone can or wants to pay 3000euros for a frame that does the job no better than one of my frame sets. My frames come with lifetime coaching and custom paint in any design you want. Factory backed warranty. I buy in volume so can provide the best deals EVER created by a frame seller. If you can find better deal on as good quality product PLEASE let me know because I would love to drop the price even more so my fans can get the BEST deals ALWAYS. :)
4. Rumours and slander. Some people linked to a spam website that calls me a rapist etc. Well that isnt nice to make up stuff like that. Why don't they go to the police? Im not exactly a hard guy to find. Yes Ive slept with that guys wife from Norway and he was pissed about it. But if you have watched my other channel or read my tumblr you see why she never went to the police to make a report because if she did those receipts I showed would have her in prison for false police report. Good thing I saved screenshots and had my iphone on voice memo record on the bedside table those 2 nights Hannah came back to my hotel.
5. Im an incredibly transparent person. If you can find another youtuber with over 300million + views on youtube who is as transparent and respectful of their fans please let me know because Im always looking for role models to model after. Sadly I don't see that though as most people get a following and it goes straight to their head and then their wallet about how much money they can make selling pointless junk.
6. Safety. Im smashing out mad steep KOM's on my Pragma frames. Few of my friends who are on steroids are racing these things. They are bulletproof compared to frames that cost 5x more and have not enough carbon in them. You really think a 700g frame is as safe as a 900g frame when you hit the cobbles? Ask Specialized, Cervelo etc why they cut up and landfill ALL their carbon race bikes after Paris Roubaix.... Yes I could get lighter frames but NOBODY ever got dropped because their already light enough carbon bike wasnt lighter lol. Don't get suckered into the marketing hype. ;)
7.Performance: These Pragma frames are legit as any top shelf bike I currently own or have ridden. I honestly would NEVER buy a brand name bike again. Why???? I spec my main 2 frames with BSA bb as BSA is the most durable and easy to set up saving my buyers money and headache. I use 27.2mm posts with standard clamp because I DON'T believe a frame should go to landfill because the seat post was no longer in production or the bolts stripped. Last year I got a the latest Epic S-Works and went on a 6 week bike packing trip. It was cancelled after the first day because the shock blew out. Had to wait a week in a town for the replacement and then that blew up on the next day so we just stayed on a friends farm instead. None of my bike designs will ever be as flawed as Specialized etc (Who Im a fan of btw for many saddles, grips, shoes etc.)
8. Community. Each customer of my frames gets access to my private facebook coaching group so they can really achieve their fitness, lifestyle, performance and or weight loss goals. Other brands you have over money and its bye bye until the new season stuff is out and your 10k bike is now worth only 2k despite being near new but 'super seeded'.
9. Support. If you crash one of my forks and need a new one you get it COST price. Not some stupidly inflated price. I also offer custom painting in whatever color you want. Can anyone name a big brand that gives that level of service? Nah. :(
10. Change. I understand many don't like my brutally honest, NO BS approach but that is what comes naturally to me and I HATE seeing people ripped off. I worked in retail so so many years and know the industry inside out. It is TIME FOR CHANGE and Im being that change I want to see. 20 years ago I called out Lance for clearly being on the gas (I didnt mind though as ALL pro athletes are the TOP are doping and time proves me right). I lost friends over sharing my opinion about Lance even though Im a Lance fan for what he has done for making cycling mainstream. I think the world needs more transparency and Im the only brand out there who shows what factory their bikes come from. Does anyone else know a brand who is as open as me? Even Thesis bike claim transparency but when I wanted to source some steerer plugs Randall refuses to tell me his source even though he claims he wants the cycling consumer to have safer product. Sad but true :(
