Official Las Vegas post Interbike rant (read with caution):
So happy to be done with that two faced bullshit. Now we can go back to not really giving a fuck while the rest of you can keep telling us you want to support quality products built by North Americans, then go buy your fancy frame made out of $3 worth of fabric and glue that's put together by some slave in a communist country for $4 in a
n artificially pegged currency. Ya. You're correct: That non bio-degradable chunk of carbon will hold up for a REALLY LONG TIME and have a rad footprint on the back of your prius while you're hangin' with the cool kids at the trendy vegan restaurant. And sorry we weren't set up with a full booth this year so that the women's rights groups could track us down again to give us shit over the stupid, fucking childish (and apparently somehow degrading to women?) names of our bikes. We got your message last year and won't use the names "hooker" or "STD" in Vegas anymore. Instead of "blowing our wad" in Vegas, Chazzy spent whatever $ we had trying to help a good young girl win a World Championship that apparently nobody noticed was riding a fucking shocker anyway while they tried to call Chazzy out for putting a fucking stupid rainbow striped decal kit on a bike. And ya, thanks for picking up on the fact that the extra 6 oz. of aluminum really slowed down an absolute sweetheart of a girl. All 105 lb's of her soaking wet. (Doh, probably shouldn't have said that part.) Which, what the fuck, the fact that nobody notices that shit is hardly a shocker for a guy like Chazzy, who's probably done more than anyone to help women's racing and grassroots development without ever giving a fuck if he gets any credit. So no, sorry, we're probably not going to bump it up and have a fancy World Cup team next year either. We'd really love to help some good people out with pursuing their life's dreams; however, we don't sell enough bullshit $400 hard tails to require spending a fortune on an entire World Cup season as a loss leader just to get 3 photographs for a really nice glossy catalog that will just sit on a shelf at a dealer who we could probably give a fuck if we have anyway, because even if we sold them bikes, they'd still have to pay their Special Ed bill before they paid us anyways, because the guys with the big S on their chest can also afford way better lawyers too. So as said, fuck it: We're off to drive our North American built Ford Deisel trucks up the fucking hill to "burn one down" and have fun on some illegal trail we may or may not have "allegedly" bought some kid shovels to build. If you know us, you'll know where to come hang. If you don't, oh well, whatever, we hope you have a good day too…
