You could just PM the guy and ask him directly. Everyone knows his bikes are from frames made in asia with brand names that his company acquired the rights to use and have nothing to do with their original manufacturers. A knock-off is using for instance the name of another manufacturer and trying to make a cheap copy of it.

Clearly you have a bone to pick with Mike and I don't blame people for flaming you since lots of the bikes on this forum come from his company and your question is a little ignorant. Good luck!
