Don't poopoo their process line, those bikes rocked. Their carbon processes were pretty darn good from a few years ago. Although the Cascade link is a must to get the bike feeling dialed. Sadly I think the must have been caught be surprise by the higher then AL warranty claims and costs associated. On addition to every other manufacturer going to modern geo took a bit of the spark away.
Over the last 2 years they went AL only and the flame went out. I am guessing they knew they were going to sell and decided to load up on lower cost AL frames to increase sellable inventory but keep the costs down. It worked, the original owners made out well. But not so great for the new owners.
Anyone's guess what the future will bring, designs are so dialed now that's it's tough to get in without a really great unique product. E gravel and road bikes here we come!
