Capricorn Posted December 15, 2013 Share Interesting read on bicycling.com RE Spez company founder, Mike Sinyard. http://www.bicycling...inyard-obsessed PR disaster recovery spin machine at full tilt. To me personally, it's more interesting to see the strategy applied since the Roubaix faceplant. Love the bit of irony in his surname. Sinyard. I wonder if Zuma's PR spin machine is going to follow the same strat now that the wolves are baying for blood.

Wyatt Earp Posted December 17, 2013 Share good to hear that bullies can be taught a lesson. shuffles off to custom wheel builder in Somerset west Agreed, it was awesome to see how bully war veteran Dan got shown what humility and passion is by the old man Mike Sinyard. Mike (imho) is really only guilty of one thing, leaving his legal work to a team that are over vigilant at times.Mike should also be quite flattered that even the haters will concede and acknowledge that he has some brilliant products, it must also be quite flattering that others want to copy you. It's that lead and others will follow scenario.
