anyways back to the bike.

This has to be the first dtt ive liked so far thats come out.
Im not really a fan of the DTT look. but this looks kinda cool

As for who makes it, who cares who even works there. Its about the product isnt it.
I buy products and it doesnt mean i support the company or let alone the individual on the loading dock.

Dear Mods,
Now that the co owner has both named the person in question, followed up by making numerous claims.
Is it really necessary to continue on with charade and allow this thread to become ever more manipulated ?


Please just re-instate the original 2 posts in an unedited manner, and let us get on with this.
That way the readers themselves can see the original posts you decided to censor after pressure from a London worker to have the posts removed.


The damage has been done, would it not just be better to come clean?
And let the board move on ....

No, just a reminder of facts. Karl, you have a kid or kids right?.... Cmon man..

Yes I do. Although I didn't edit this thread, I still don't see any benefit or gain to anyone in any way about bringing up the past for the next 50 years about an issue that has already been dealt with by the law. But that is just my opinion, and my opinion only, so I understand others may disagree.

The person in question did not actually abuse anyone.  He viewed some inappropriate websites, yes, but he never touched anyone.  He has gotten therapy, counseling, and is now happily married.  After serving 6 months in jail and several years on probation, I would say that he has more than paid for his crime.  London Bikes is a great company that makes incredible frames and parts.  They aren't doing it to generate huge profits.  They are making these products simply for the love of flatland.  I would wear a London t-shirt proudly if they would send me one....hint, hint!

Good enough for me. I didnt like the censorship part of this whole thread. After going through the replies from both sides of the arguement, I wouldnt hesitate buying stuff from London. If i didnt already build my Subrosa FLATT DTT, Id have already called dibs on one of these DTT's.

After further thinking about this subject, I agree with this statement.

Do i agree with removing the posts? Not really. The original post by Byke didnt go into enough detail to warrant deletion in my opinion. However, i also agree with Karl in the fact that there is no benefit or gain to anyone bringing up the past for the next 50 years about an issue that has already been dealt with by the law. The man served his time, and had several years on probation without incident. People sometimes do stupid things..they learn from their mistakes and move on. We can't crucify this guy for the rest of his life because of something he did a while back. He never touched anyone, if he did, my opinion may be different. If a worker at my local bike shop got arrested for drunk driving, got convicted, did his time, and returned to the shop, im not going to stop shopping there because of it. So with that, and the fact that he is an employee and not even the owner, and the fact that profits aren't even made within the company, i personally will have no issues buying from London Bikes.

Now lets move on and continue to talk about the frame that this thread was started about. :)

I just wished GF would undelete my original post.
That way people could see exactly what was said, then what a London bikes employee was able to have censored, and subsequent replies from a London co owner.


As it stands right now, the perception of events is very skewed to say the least.

Im not religious much but i dont see Christians leaving the Catholic church every time a priest is caught molesting an altar boy. That d1ckhead priest is more the face of his religion than this employee is to London Bikes....as far as I am hearing here. Just my opinion!

You edited this post.... What is your point in using what Michael Jackson was accused of but, was found innocent of?

If I think what you are implying is that Michael Jackson was guilty, then this topic is about to get DEEP!!!

Do not condemn.... Unless you have the facts and that you do not have.  London Bikes stands by their guy for reasons unknown to you and it should not hinder the selling of BMX Products London continues to put out

Remember, Michael Jackson and his music was condemned by people who like to keep SH_T going and think they know it all.

Now the man lays dead from depression and the accuser confessed it was not true and the people who condemned him now listen to his music.

Yeah, there was a typo, so apparently I am wrong because so many forgive and forget. So I apologize for my opinion and wont mention the other Texan who is also on that list, it wouldnt matter anyways...

Why wouldn't  matter anymore??? What was it that you and the select few on this forum were going after here?

Just because someone is accused of a crime doesn't mean they commit that crime because of labeling and grouping of that particular crime if it doesn't fit into a category.

For example.. My husband and I dated in high school for many years before we got married. He being a year older than me was accused (by the Sheriff's Office during the hiring process) of being a child molester.. Me being the child at 17yrs of age expecting our 1st child and he just turning 18yrs of age before I did caused confusion almost 5 yrs later after the fact. Facing child molestation charges, statutory rape, etc... basically any charge that they could throw they were and whatever category it would fit or suit.

Is that fair? I think not.. because we knew each other and dated before he turned 18.

My husband did get hired and later when he asked about that question and why they made him out to be something he wasn't... They said.. that's how they get someone and laughed about it.

So when someone can dig up info on someone and judge them just because of the category they are in.. better think twice because one day it might happen to you.

It would seem it doesnt matter because of the replies, it also seems that no one cares these days, till it affects them on a personal level. So if everyone wants him to watch thier kids when they have sone, dont bitch then either.
