Did you buy your Canyon with a credit card ?
Thankfully I did so I started the process of trying to get my cash back via Natwest yesterday.
Canyon has a legit reason behind delays though.
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/01/07/hackers_canyon_bicycles/
The hack which they tried to keep hidden for a fortnight? I was promised my refund would be made within 5 days on the 14 January so I think I've given them enough time.
At least they are still trading/have money to refund you...
Id not worry about it, the credit card company will refund you and Canyon actually make bikes.
A bang & a wimpey?

Also, this little 6 month crap is bullshit. I contacted them a while back only to be told there’s nothing I can do until they move to be struck off or whatever. Then six months later they are moved to be struck off. Are we sure Jordan isn’t working for company’s house? Lol

Or that they're fully aware of the 6 months issue so string you (others) along for as long as possible up to 6 months and a day before they'll be automatically struck off then *poof* radio silence.
Ironically, the company’s house is the one who told me I couldn’t do anything until they were to be struck off, so I waited for that...
I’ve been in contact and pursuit several times a month since sept or 2018. They got several hundred emails and other conversations sent to them yesterday. Someone will have fun sorting through that pile.
Today’s response:

Has anyone got a rough idea of how much they swindled out of people?
Surely there's ground for a criminal/fraud investigation with all this?
Or failing that get hold of Stacey Dooley or Watchdog.....
There's a list of people who have ordered frames on this thread, however probably just the tip of the iceberg:
https://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=213188&pagenum=1
have a look through here https://www.instagram.com/in_pages/ scroll down the pages until you find a pic of a smug tattooed **** in a yellow Patagonia top, it would appear that the 27th Sep was Jordan's birthday, bless him he looks happy enough given the amount of damage he and his ****wit friend's have caused. I've had my refund (from Paypal not from those shysters) but I'm happy to get involved if anyone fancies spamming them for a response
Anyone worried about Canyon
Well I ordered my Exceed on Friday and it arrived today in mint condition. Amazing service from Germany.
Someone has lodged an objection to the striking off, so the process is suspended for now. Until August apparently. The slo mo train wreck rumbles on. I suspect most people (no idea how many there are) are not owed enough money to make it worth their while the legal effort in trying to claim it back. Last I heard there was an unpaid CCJ too, so maybe legal pursuit isn't effective in any event?
From the pinkbike thread, it looks like folk have given up on getting their money back. The striking off objection is to let HMRC have a look (alerted by pissed off customers) to see if there’s any VAT or tax owed. Personally I can’t see them being VAT registered, and any profits that tax would be owed on would be long gone, swallowed up by credit cards and PayPal claiming for refunds. But if it causes them a bit of sweat, so be it.
Seeing as they couldn't pay off Marino I'd say they were trading whilst insolvent. Which would then make the directors liable for any debts not the ltd company

You’d have to prove that there was no possible way they could have fulfilled orders, which would be difficult as they had the Taiwanese frames (that on one bought) coming. Only if they took orders after that ship sailed you would have half a chance, but I think they’d stopped taking orders by then.
They are VAT registered - number is 289179540
I’d have been surprised if they weren’t as it’s not difficult to hit 80k turnover when selling bikes.

Grifters be grifting. And so it rolls on.
Was going to ask a few questions in the comments, figured they’ll only be deleted.
Is that a cryptic crossword clue or something?
This place sometimes...
He’s (jordan) started a new ‘streetwear’ business, supposedly to help artists with no income at the moment. Shop goes live this weekend according to insta
Doomsday.milkmoney is the name/instagram account
No negative comments from anyone on there yet 🧐
Only 2 positive...
spam the hell out of him. Do pinkbike know?
Do pinkbike know?
Yeah, well the forum does. but as I say re spam, everything will just be deleted. Water off a F ducks back

How did you find this out- and how's he been publicising it?

Someone on the pb forum posted it. Admittedly that person has no info on their profile, and has only posted in that topic (same name as this one), but hasn’t exactly been singing their praises.
If you keep on spamming his instagram carefully picking the time ie late at night / early in the morning you will surely get the info out to some folk. He will not be able to delete every message instantly

He can restrict who comments though.
Its started on IG 🙂
I'm guessing he's deleted quite a few already as well.
aah, Occulttattoo..
Tomorrow night, we’ll lock up Occult and we don't know when we will be back, but, we will be back.
I’d like to thank our team who dealt with the changes flawlessly and without complaint. Our customers who followed our ever changing guidelines, who supported us through the uncertain last week or so. Artists will contact you if needs be and rearrange things, if they have not already. I’ll be keeping in contact with guests. Obviously some will need to be rescheduled but that, we can do! This won’t last forever. The sooner we all get inside. The sooner we will beat this.
I intend to use the time to do some maintenance and improvements around the shop and plan for the future. I count my blessings. I hope for your wellbeing.I’ll be supporting artists* by purchasing artwork and making t-shirts and garments and selling them through @doomsday.milkmoney - So give that a follow if you can.
Don’t say goodbye, it's not goodbye, we’ll see you again. My only hope is that after this the world will be a kinder and better place. That those that worked so hard to keep everyone safe gets the respect they deserve. THANK YOU ALL *if you are and artist want to collab give me a holler via DM @doomsday.milkmoney
Maybe send them the 'Gnarpoon' design, see if they can make some t-shirts?
So his only hope is that the world will be a kinder and better place.
Does that mean owning up when you've ballsed up, apologising and doing everything you can to get innocent customers their money back.
I bet it ****ing doesn't!
The more I hear from this guy the more comfortable I would be with hoofing him in the slats.
Matt
Edit: Nope
I'm confused, who is it they are trying to milk money from?
Surely Gnartists, not artists?
I've just followed him and posted on his first post, I'll be blocked in the next 5 mins I think

Total guess, but artists submit designs to his sickness, he gets them made and sells them, off the back of all the proceeds going to the artists. Will he pay the artists something/anything? Who knows, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Hardly anyone who made/designed anything for sick got paid.
Where’s he gonna get them made if Europe is in lockdown? IIRC despite claims of him and Tim making the sick ones here, I think most were made/printed in Eastern Europe.
several posts on his instagram now slating him for his actions in the past. Keep it up lads - stop anyone else from being conned

Nothing in the last 4 hours? (Unless I’m not getting all of them) And only to those that know what they’re referring to. There’s no explicit ‘where’s the money you stole’ messages. @spev what was your message?
In Jordan's defence a street wear company sounds like something he could do. Let's face it, sick wasn't an unsuccessful clothes company.
I mean, didn't everybody who paid for a bike get their T shirt?
Let’s face it, sick wasn’t an unsuccessful clothes company.
It was the second one he had that failed though...
there was when I looked. Just keep on doing it. The guy needs to be stopped from ripping more people off.
Can yo not complainto instagram that he is using their site for fraud?
i have no skin in this game or I would. But then I am a vengeful sod
still up on his instgram
As has been stated above, are you intending reimbursing those people you stole from in your previous business Sick Bicycles ( stole as in took payment with no intention of supplying , avoiding answering questions and the having no intention of reimbursing those people). I was lucky enough to get a refund via PayPal, others were not so lucky #fraud #sickbicycles #howdoyouactuallysleepatnight #wouldntletyoudrawonpapernevermindmyskin . It was ok though you went to the London bike show and met the Athertons. I'd imagine you'll blame it all on mental health issues etc, thereby belittling the actual sufferers of mental health problems, you are a conman and a fraudster.
It was the second one he had that failed though…
That's true, but I think my attempt at humour lost something in the typing (it was bordering on a distant relative of hilarious in my 4 beer brain)
Not showing in my view of it TJ
My comment is still showing as of now, perhaps he's sleeping the sleep of the untroubled. I don't doubt he'll delete it and block me tomorrow, I'm hoping he'll report me for some kind of harassment or abuse.
Lets see how long my comment lasts, I've been blocked from all his other pages.
tom - I clicked onthe big black square logo thingy bottom left corner and thats where the comments appeared. I don't use instagrammy thingy so don't really understand it
It promises the shop will be open before the weekend. Well it's now the weekend and I don't see no shop...
Old habits die hard.
Surely Gnartists, not artists?
I've just been for a look:
Sorry, this page isn't available.
The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram.
Didn't take long, I've been blocked again.
Looks like it’s been made a private account, or deleted.
Sad face.
He seems to have removed the IG page, it shows a lack of care of FB and IG part that they allow him to continue using their platform, surely its got back to them that he is using their platform to con people? If you use a cafe to deal in illegal products and services eventually the cafe removes you from the premises, surely the same would apply? Although expecting FB and IG to follow any moral path that is acceptable to the reasonable amongst the population is expecting too much maybe.
Still, lets keep checking on the shyster and forcing him further into his little corner.
The IG account is now private although You can still report for being either spam or inappropriate.
Saw that - splendid work from Mr Pubes. Nearly as good as when he drew my bike. Made my day that.
Very good indeed!
It hasn't got enough alcohol in it to make me sick 😉
Thank God they're doing T-shirts as well, it's not a proper swizz without a matching Tee...
'Free beer' T-shirt : £10
They’re generating rad times! Assuming the generating is using renewable energy I’m in!
Beer that’s enjoyed worldwide, but you can’t actually buy. Sounds familiar.
can’t actually buy
Sure you can, it’s in the chiller cabinet next to the Rich Energy.
Anyway, needs more insta live stream
Interestingly, someone’s just popped up on the PB version of this thread yesterday to say Jordan is a silent partner in the above. From a scan of the site and insta, it does seem like he’s very much involved in the marketing, like he was in the coffee and vegan cheese ventures, but has kept his smug face out of all the pics. Rather funnily, they’re talking about building trust in this comment...
Holy Shit....
This t-shirt looks familiar....

Wonder if the image posting thing will work:
This one is probably more accurate. Ironic humour perhaps...?
Second image for you, Stumpy.
Blatant.
Edit - I see you've fixed it!
Shady as ****, isn't it?
Hold my beerpoon.
Also, Burton C Bell is in the UK at the moment, what are the odds we could get him to go round and fight them? Fear Factory intellectual property seems to be the most fraught and anger-causing thing out there.
This one is probably more accurate. Ironic humour perhaps…?
More like a middle finger to everyone he's ripped off.
