During the negotiations Simon was forbidden from patting his rear pocket on his jeans, employing anyon called George and ever, ever mentioning Asda price. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18487#post-271055 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 23:13:15 +0000 Baldcyclist 271055@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Presumably rebranding to George, reducing price and selling in ASDA stores up and down the country wasn’t mentioned? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18487#post-271039 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 15:36:57 +0000 gembo 271039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rapha founder Simon Mottram sent me a letter today (an electronic letter). I imagine he sent the same letter to anyone else who has ever purchased their kit (I have only ever manage sale items). Nary a mention of being bought by the grandson of the founder of Walmart. Or if you like Walmart. </p>
