OUR FEARLESS LEADER!!
Can’t you find a picture without a helmet so we can laugh at his bald spot?
I honestly think the best part is the fact that the name oso means absolutely nothing.
No dude, OSO makes the shape of a bike!
(or as pointed out in another thread, in Spanish ‘oso’ means bear, and hence is tarck as all hell 
)
i know he probably deserves all the shit he’s getting, but i honest to goodness feel sorry for this guy. he’s failing miserably in his pursuit, and he either has to sadly tell his wife that, even though businesses take time to get up and running, his business is not working as they had expected; or, he has no wife, no one at all to comfort him. his anger is nothing more than masked frustration and defeat, and i swear to god i can’t take it anymore.
i get the same way with relief pitchers and field goal kickers. sorry.
dont feel sorry for him, the bikes are assembled in taiwan (completely). he doesnt even ride a bike, thats evident in the fact that he lives in Texas yet has very white legs…
So really… for $400 is it really that bad?
dude, whatever he had bike shorts on in that one video where he talked like a drone.
also, does that mean that you feel bad for Martin Gramattica right now?
also, he really could sell some of these bikes if he wouldn’t try to take the marketing on himself.
I was thinking that it would make a neat polo bike, but i wouldn’t spend $400 on a polo bike…
OSO BALD!!!
it’s an affliction known as crippling sympathy.
i can make fun of him because im starting to bald…
Of course the massive fail factor has probably gotten this dude more traffic to his site than he could have imagined, and maybe one of those people might actually buy one.
The osobike is a mix between a cruiser and a road bike. It is simple and easy to maintain like a cruiser, but fast like a road bike. It has only one speed, so you can spend your time riding instead of thinking about what gear you should be in
:facepalm:
i still don’t get the hate for this guy. this is one of those rare cases where i feel empathy for someone and want to help them. yeah, his videos are beyond amateur, and the bikes are nothing special, and he’s being a tool arguing with people all over the internet, but shit! i feel bad for the guy!
i guess it’s just me and conor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOOw2yWMSfk[/quote]that was my first thought. hopeless determination and heartbreak.
goddamnit!
Yeah, it is kind of sad. I vote we take over his marketing and development.
The Oso product concept, while not completely offensive, at the same suffers from what I think is a fatal flaw: if you really want the “street cred” or whatever of a brakeless fixed gear, you’ll just ride a brakeless fixed gear, not a coaster brake equipped wannabee poseur bike.
And he’s not doing himself any favors. I’ve seen in a number of other online communities where a vendor has taken a similar active, aggressive, and compulsively defensive approach to “marketing” their product, and it always ends in one place… burnout and failure. It’s a train wreck in slow motion.
The successful vendors come with combination of a great product, /good/ promotional videos, hooking up talented endusers, and thereby generate a lot of user-driven buzz. Unfortunately, the Osobike approach turns all that on its head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOOw2yWMSfk[/quote]whenever i read youtube comments, i have to wonder if their main demographic is middle school kids.
edit: also, that video would make a fucking awesome/depressing play.
No, I understand feeling bad for him at first, but once you have an online interaction with the guy, I don’t anymore.
If he would take the criticism, change his product, and buy in to a LITTLE BIT of marketing (just a little!) he might actually sell a bike.
