Sad, looks like another company ruined by greedy management. I hope mine doesn’t break as it looks they there aren’t any spares either.

yeh, there was a thread – some suggestion that the brand wasn’t dead, just the holding co (or something)

Basically says that the owners are waiting for a buyer. The 2 or 3 other brands they owned have sold, so it’s only a matter of time.

the MTBR thread is interesting because it mentions that the current buyer has got rid of all the staff, and sold all the bike/spares at below cost.

So who on earth is going to buy them? no spares, no backup and the development/support teams gone, sounds like a dream investment.

I think you mean “greedy owner” rather than “greedy management”.

Not the same thing at all.
