Sad times.

They made the small British bike builder market what it was.

Ah, that's bad. They're the sort of place that you can just never know how much the impact was, because so much of it would be little nudges and inspirations.

Would be interesting to see just how many brands have started off the back of them. Fingers crossed they all move on to something good.

I always kind of wanted to go there, it would have been a cool thing to do. Gutted for them. Also gutted for us, and the UK in general. I think we're going to see a lot more of this in the near future.

Sad news. On a slightly related note - I was looking through the auction listing of a suppliers assets (niche calibrating business) that had called the liquidators in. It was like they had literally just walked out of the building with the intention to come back the following day. It was sad to see benches with tools that had taken years to collect and equipment from a bygone era that would be irreplaceable once sold for scrap.

Sad times.

Sorry for the thread closure. It seems that main page stories on the same topic get to trump forum posts. Please continue over here:
