lets say there is only enough cash to pay for 200 bikes. you send all 200 to warranty. now you have no money, and nobody would ever consider actually investing, and the brand is toast. at that point, why build the warranty bikes at all... which means nobody gets any warranty bikes.
Holy crap. You're a more patient man than I. I guess once you've waited, what, 18 months, another "two weeks" isn't the end of the world?
Since it has been so long I think most have moved on to another bike (I hope). It will be interesting to see if these people build them up or turn around and sell them. I think most will keep them as it is the latest and "greatest" thing (carbon). Now we have to wait and see if the love for Evil comes back around from the people that have a true reason for hate and not the haters who never owned one. I am pulling for them even though I was one of those side line haters, they look amazing.
"Flight" sounds like press bikes to me...
I bet Amelia Earhart shows up first.
This whole debacle is laughable, but this put me in stitches. This is what happens when you have artists running bike companies. The bike industry needs more companies lead by engineers and smart businessmen rather than artists and bikeshop burnouts.
They at least KNOW how to spell.
Good one, you got me...
smart businessmen? People are still talking about, and are even excited about buying, a bike from a company that has left people without bikes for two years. It doesn't even sound like the warranty waiters are going to get their bikes immediately, as some are saved for sales. How would you feel if you're the last person to get your replacement frame, having spent two years with 3grand sitting in a pile in the driveway, while other people are out riding the bike that you already paid for. He might be the best businessman in the world. He's effing people in the arse and not even giving them a reach around, and they love it.
but but but those people probably spent another $3k on another frame.
You're a typical entitled consumer.but but but those people probably spent another $3k on another frame.
the more i hear about this, the happier i am i sold mine. if for some reason i was waiting for another warranty frame for this long, you damn well know i would have filed a lawsuit many moons ago
when someone pays serious money for a product and two out of the three fail, you expect a mfg to support their product which they know have serious issues.... thats not "entitlement."
its mind bottling to think some people are fine with sitting on their hands for this long and not getting anything.
There are many cases of prototype bikes running no problem under pros and then failing in the production. All it takes is a small change or a production issue. Not to mention number of testers count. I really want Evil to create a great bike, hell I'd even consider buying one if after a season there is no issues but that's not a test for nothing.
So what makes this bike the best one? Are cat 2 riders suddenly going to podium in the pro class once they receive their Evil frames? Are pro class riders suddenly going to end up smashing Gwin and the rest of the WC field once they're available? Are riders going to jump higher and ride faster? Are all the bike park groupies going to flock to the Evil riders and throw their flawless naked bodies at them due to he rareity and newness of these unobtanium frames?
oh you and your sense of entitlement
haha i like it....but shouldnt you be busy chasing russians up your street right now
My country is stupid and so is football. I wouldnt feel sad if both sides just took themselves out. On the other hand riding in Maribor isnt stupid. I can work remotely so the choice is easy
Apparently he now lives in Russia
No point chasing his comrades out.
