Dear Grumpy Norris, just trying to create a window of mirth into a a somewhat mundane day, sorry the weather has affected you up there. Sorry also that you have difficulty in spelling , and I dont really have the time to follow such an avenue of enterprise, the TShirts will definately be available and there are a lot of requests  locally for those. As for carbon frames, just making a point that in 20 years time there will be guys who would like to know the origins of their carbon frames just as we would like to know the makers or rather artists who made some of our frames  hence my comments,and the rather toungue in cheek abreviation of FKW, which I and many others ,like. Sorry you dont, but you cant please everyone, just most.

Having just read another of Barrie's marketing emails I have decided that I am either just too old or possibly to refined , or both, to be able to decipher the meaning of this abbreviation.

In any case I think Barrie should be careful and check with the patents and copyright offices before he splashed too much money on this initiative as he might be surprised to find that someone such as the owners of the renowned FCUK clothing brand have already registered the name. Should a clothing company have done just that, and bearing in mind that clothes these days are manufactured world-wide, then the W might just mean something other than what Barrie has in mind.

In any case, isn't all this talk of Pedal Force frames, Ribble cycles and Chinese frames just a bit off topic?
