Sanderson stock is old I reckon, haven't released anything new for years.
Stanton are looking to refinance, I hope they pull through. Honestly, if you haven't heard of them I don't think you can be seriously looking at modern bikes, one of the biggest hardtail brands, especially here in UK. Them and cotic are the mainstream steel frames, before going higher end again with shand etc.
Norco pulling their race team is different entirely. The switch to discovery has made next year's downhill up in the air. Its a big commitment when details haven't been announced. Rumours of big changes, such as a 30 strong field only makes it a lot less appealing. Fact there are so many unknowns as well is a bit of a farce. Shame as last season was superb
