ahh lets open this can of worms. if you have a problem pm is the way to go especially since you are not part of the situation. however since you insist... the picture and specs sent to the horse for the readers ride section were not printed the way i emailed them. i listed the build, what was done etc and THEN I listed what I had done to it since than. In my email to them I never represented the bike as my build but I also DID NOT put the builders name. If I was truly trying to represent the build as mine would I not have done so here? Would I not have done so when I sent it in for a two page spread to lowside magazine(issue 9, VC is mentioned as the builder). When people ask me if i built it I tell them who did, if they ask specific questions I let them know the GOOD and the BAD. I did not mention VC for the horse submittal but I also DID NOT submit it as its printed. I have over 800 feedback on ebay(100% positive) and I never misrepresent something I have/sell. I do not go around bashing VC even though I have had numerous issues with the bike which I will not go into but Jay is aware of. Yes Its a custom, yes I know it may have some issues, but what I have gone through with it(time/money) to get it to where it is today(rideable) is way beyond normal. Did I go on here and list all my problems and bad mouth VC? NO! So until you know the facts perhaps you should watch where you insert your two cents....
