But our offices are in South Africa and we're proud to say so. Okay. Your new 2024 bikes(cerberus, skyrim and dc cypher)were being sold in Russia middle to end of 2023 already. These same bikes were only launched locally a month or two ago? DieselnDust, Vishal72, BigDL and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted April 30 Share If i had to stop buying from suppliers who's products are sold in Russia and Ukraine and alike the engineering co i work for that's been operating since before i was born would probably fold before September. How a product ends up somewhere and what happens in that geographic position on a random planet that's capable of sustainable life doesn't make the brand less of a brand. Ludicrous way to try and force political correctness on a Bicycle discussion mikkelz and Spinnekop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted April 30 Share On 4/24/2024 at 10:41 AM, DieselnDust said: Oh yes this is potentially an industry saviour but I wasn’t referring to this. I was referring the rapidly growing middle class in China that is quite brand conscious and looks to spend on brands like Pinarello, Colnago, Look , Parlee etc. That volume is keeping those boutique brands going. we established brands like rolls Royce , Ferrari , are making money hand over fist becssue while a recession is happening , the rich are immune and profit off of that recession. High prices bicycles are targeting those wallets but that’s a highly competitive market.

Ludicrous way to try and force political correctness on a Bicycle discussion Literally, no one raised the issue of the war there currently. What's ludicrous is to read any kind of PC forcing into what was a bicycle discussion relevant question. The bike was released locally, someone claims they saw it in another market, which happened to Russia, prior to the local launch. That is the question. Take a breath. Keeping things on topic, the most likely answer is that Ruben could have seen an online 'ad' using pics, which in all likelihood was a scam/phishing site of sorts.

Titan do have a distributor there so it’s very possible. Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
