Please note the "might" and "potentially" in the definition of conflict of interest and that no-one has accused him of having vested interests, contrary to a previous post.
So you've got nothing but bluster, then. I also note you insist on repeating this absurd 'webshop' nonsense, despite his website not actually meeting any of the conventional definitions of a web 'shop'. In any case, he builds bikes to customer spec - not his own spec, so if he is recommending a certain product, then I would guess that is simply a coincidence, or can you not see that?

Oh, I dunno, possibly something to do with the fact that he has not replied to this thread - you know, the one which calls into account his personal and professional integrity. I'm sure if someone impugned your personal or professional reputation on here, without proof or evidence, you'd be all over it like a rash...
I'd like to finish up by saying that ordinarily, I would call you a master of diversion, were it not for the fact that you're not actually very good at it.
