Which is fine, and I hope him the best. He built some beautiful bikes for sure.
Yep, some times one just has to be a tragic
to toil and persevre through the storms
to good sailing and make a firm establishment.
I also wish Jonny all the best in his chosen directions.
It will all work out for him.
Cheers Dazza :cool:
No disrespect intended...
I was just thinking out loud when I heard the news that he was shutting down the business. I had other thoughts first but this one left me thinking, less about Jonny and more about small framebuilders in general.
I imagine he will do his best to hold true to his warranty, he seems to be an honorable man.
I wish him the best and hope that he does return to the craft, I admire his style and attention to details.
But I've just been thinking a lot about warranties lately and how those costs are worked into the bikes, if at all in some cases. It is a customer service business after all (about as much as it is manufacturing). We are making performance products and warranties are important, both to the builder and the customer. There are lots of other issues surrounding a shop closing down that that are important too, but I suppose that should be for another thread.... I guess I should have just said:
Good luck Jonny.
