I have no intention of getting any of your posts deleted. Edwong3 posted here to share his cycling experience with us, not to have a discussion about the ethics of business practices and plagiarism. For that reason, I think (and I am certain that I am not the only one here) that your post on this subject and the ones you posted on other threads such as the Genesis thread are better suited elsewhere, in their own topic.
i disagree with what you are saying. yes, the counterfeit/ knock-off issue is certainly it's own very broad topic. however, it does relate
directly and specifically to the two bicycles in question and it would seem to be doing a disservice to prospective buyers who may not be aware and potentially do care about what they buy, to remain silent about the issue and say nothing
within the thread about the bike in question.
that being said, i'll drop it.
