Making no sense again. I thought he answered your question quite nicely. If anything was vague, it
was your question. If you wanted technical details you could have asked a follow up. But you gave no
hint that you were not satisfied with his answer, seemingly because somebody beat you at your own
game by saying they paid full price for a Bigha.
What confuses me is how you've stated many times people will defend their purchases just to avoid
looking bad, but now seem to think these are the only objective reviews. And then a Bigha owner
steps up to give his opinion and you deem it worthless.
Mr Love seems to be talking out of several sides of the same mouth to attack a bike he supposedly
hasn't even seen. Why the vendetta? Is he perhaps a disgruntled ex-Bigha employee?

by a customer wouldn't exactly be objective, now would it? Why don't you write to your
favorite magazine or TV show and ask them how many of their products they reviewed were
actually paid for?
As for Mr Theismen (the Bigha owner), isn't having a "nice" bike that he likes justification
enough? He said he's tried other bents and did not find them as nice as the Bigha. If you really
wanted more specifics you could have asked, but you failed to.
It seems to me Lorenzo L. Love, that you've just about run out of circles.
Lying again. I asked the specific questions "Why did you decide to spend that much when there are
other much cheaper bikes that are in the same class? In what way is this bike superior to similar
but much less expensive bikes? In what way is this bike the equal to similarly priced but much
higher performance bikes?" His answers were quite vague and boil down to he just likes it better.
There seems to be no end to the lies Mr. Turner will spew to defend a bicycle he himself does not
deem worth purchasing. Is he counting on a free review model?
Free review product placement is why most reviews are not worthwhile. Only the few reviewers
like the Consumers Union who pay full retail and accept no advertising can be judged impartial
and honest.

You are quite simply lying. I have never said that the Bigha was "a piece of [censored]", in fact I
have several times said it looked like a good bike - if it was in the $1200 to $1500 price
range of comparative bikes. Every positive review posted has been by someone who was given a
Bigha for review for free. Give me any thing for free and I'll tell you it was great for the
price I paid. So far (excluding the attempts at deception) we have heard from one single person
who has said they have paid full price, and he has declined to give any details about the bike
or any info about why he purchase a Bigha rather then a comparative bike at a much cheaper
price or a much higher performance bike at a comparative price, other then he just likes it and
thinks it's nice.
This shows how far people will go to justify the culture of conspicuous consumption.
