I get "inspired" but that thing is a halo. I am all for free enterprise, (eg frame design etc) but that thing looks like he took a halo - added a some grooves and called it a day.

As for others using it - Capa etc, I don't look to my peers to tell me what is right etc, that shit is straight up not cool with me. I know people using the rip offs the blatant copies, doesn't mean I am going to.
