Overlord Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Well I guess this confirms Napalm's rumours then. I wonder if all the guys that gave him a hard time because of his post that he made will be so quick to to apologise and leave their snide remarks for a time when it would be more suitable.

Hey Retro....All they say everytime i manage to get any dialogue out of them is that Ian......(team owner) who never even had the decency to great me OR speak to me for 5 minutes , has not signed off the invoices. BUT as we speak , i believe, some of the riders are abroad , racing. I charged a minmal fee.....By todays standards , the Epic would have cost them a minimum of R 2000-00 per rider.........
Racer X Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 In all honesty I don't always mind being screwed over, of course it has to be said that the right people need to be involved Jokes aside that is a really rotten thing to happen. To be honest charging a 140 bucks a bike is chicken feed. After most days out the bikes need a full service, which in any decent LBS would cost them upto 500 bucks. I really hope you get your green outa them. Have you tried writing to them? Normally a threat of legal action will put the fear of god into them which'll hopefully get em to pay up. Good Luck!
Kritzie Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 maybe you screwed up their bikes? Maybe too much screwing and too little servicing!! Yikes who screws during the Epic anyway!!!
tiger cycles Posted May 30, 2009 Author Posted May 30, 2009 Moral of the story is...... The ethics of the management of TEAM DCM CHROME is now very questionable.......... Why employ someone to do something knowing full well you not gonna pay them. Thats just not done where i come from.....
Edition 507 Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Not nice DCM Chrome. The hub awaits your side of the story.
mudda Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 They probably budgeted for the expense from the sponsor, but the final distribution never arrived at the supplier. Somewhere in the chain it broke down. I have seen that happen. It comes from management, or mis-management. Probably someone pocketed it. Try taking it up with the sponsor, rather than the team.
idrive Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 A pretty one sided post if you ask me. Posting DCM's reasons for non-payment would give it a more balanced feel?
Matchstix Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 maybe you screwed up their bikes? Maybe too much screwing and too little servicing!! Yikes who screws during the Epic anyway!!! You'd be suprised I was sound asleep. . . But the second evening in greyton to riders went at it and the girl was not quiet. They got cheered on by the riders around them and this did'nt make them stop they went for the finishline sprinting
