[Closed] ironhorse bikes...

Ding a little digging and research in ye olde reliable source of wikipedia it looks like the brand was bought by Pacific Cycles in 2009. It looks like they did the same thing for Schwinn and GT back in 2001.

Must agree it is a pretty sorry site, and it doesn't look encoraging for there to be any of the old tech documents available through them.

GT have made a bit of a comeback of late so you never know in 10 years time Iron Horse may be the company it once was.

doing a SARACIN by the look of it.

oh dear. or dear oh dear. oh dear oh dear oh dear

I was once a proud owner of an Ironhorse MK3 comp. now I think I will be too embarrased to even mention the I word again!

Eye Bleach please....

Should I be glad that I can't get that website to open?

when Pacific bought the bankrupt GT they said explicitly they would be concentrating on the sub $500 big retailer market (I had an I-drive at the time that needed spares so followed it all closely). Given theyre now doing carbon fibre zaskars and stuff like this high tech hi price monster

there may be hope for Ironhorse if Pacific think the brand has enough heritage to carry high price high profit bikes.

anyone else getting a blank screen from that link?

it works for me.

works for me too... that web page makes me feel sad. 😥

Ironhorse was not as big as GT, was it?

Yikes, that is sad 🙁

My hubby's got a Mk3 and it's a great bike - very similar to the Turner I had!

Shame...

working now

not much chance of them luring Sam Hill back to ride one of those!
