What's going on at Fikse?

I am very sorry to hear some of the reports that Fikse may have stranded some customers financially. I have to say I suspected, in my case, that I would be out a substantial amount of money if Fikse was headed the direction many of us thought. In the end, I did recover most of the funds in question, but not without MAJOR effort on my part.
Best of luck to any, and all, who are still dealing with this. BTDT, and it ain't fun...
I must also add a comment about this recent tension concerning Steve, Nic and Rothsport; I know all of the parties at hand, and I know for a fact that Nic did not intend ANY offense towards Steve. I am not saying this to convince any of you, but simply to point out, as has been done here before from time to time, that this is the internet, and the nuances of conversation, discussion and debate are absent. IMHO, we should all take a moment to consider each poster's perspective before jumping on a 'bandwagon'.
Mark in Baltimore - I get where you were coming from regarding Nic's posts, but from my perspective you were just as aggressive and accusatory, and also without benefit of full knowledge of the circumstances.

Something else to consider. What do you expect if you post a deep inside quipe on a public website that looks to be for all but 2 or 3 poeple a dig? ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Sounds like Fikse milked the busness down and shut the door.

Some things to keep in mind:
-Nic's words can be easily misconstrued ("Not unlike Rothsport Racing's current trajectory, eh Steve?") as a cheap shot against Steve, given Steve's close relationship with Rothsport. Yes, the written word can be misinterpreted, but there is a reason why discussion boards have smileys and the like, yes?
![thumbup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
-Nic's words were still a cheap shot against Rothsport, for it sounds like, and correct me if I'm wrong, Nic was inferring that there is something amiss with Rothsport's quality.
-My words were "just as aggressive and accusatory"? The former no, the latter yes. Please re-read what I wrote:
Since Steve is too much of a non-confrontational gentleman to respond, let me say that if you have a beef with him or Rothsport, you either need to discuss it with him privately or start your own thread. This thread is a discussion about Fikse wheels, not your issues with Rothsport or Rennsport.
BTW, were you just having a bad day and wanted to spray the land with hurled invective?![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

-For a good example of aggressive, click on the link in the aforementioned quote. This is what you'll see was written by Nic:
Regardless, we were all defending Steve Weiner, someone whom we all have an immense amount of respect.

Sorry for the OT discussion. Back to work for me.

FWIW I also saw Nic's post as defamatory. Perhaps Nic should take the time to make sure his message is clear and not subject to the misinterpretation most of us read. Just MHO.

Mark -
Thanks for responding.
I count Steve W. as a mentor, and friend, and IMHO he is an invaluable resource to the R.L. community. Nic's post(s) may have been in bad form, or simply misunderstood, but I believe there are reasons, right or wrong, for his chiming-in.
Regards,
Dave

Make Oregon Raceway Park one of those tracks. It's a ton of fun! It takes me 8 hours to get there but I'll make the drive for every 2-day event I can sign up for.
