And we all know, that if the name/tech gets bought - it'll never be the same again.

that's rubbish, IMO theymade somegood looking stuff.

Wow, what a shame. I have always loved their cranks and have gone through four pairs and had a couple of warranty calls with them. Real shame.

Leaves the door wide open for the Hope offering though...

Don't think this thread has been moved, there's another thread in 'mtb chat'

I have used a lot of their components over the years and I would miss having them as a known quantity. Surely it is possible that they may be bought out by a quality firm?
