I think the number of shills that pop up on BF with 1 or two posts claiming that BD is the best thing since sliced bread is probably the #1 thing that raises the hackles of the members here. Some have been exposed as such. I'd call that pretty deceptive.
I think in the bigger picture though, if you have to resort to sleight of hand to sell a product rather than letting the product stand on it's own it speaks volumes. I've bought one BD bike, I'd never buy another, and I will say if you're buying one with the thought that you may resell it down the road you'll be in for a surprise when you find that they bring half what that name brand bike you passed over to save a buck will bring on the market.
