My understanding is the distributors can continue to order direct from the factories(as they always have), but only until the albeit cosiderable existing stocks are used up.I don't get the legal structure. Are we saying it could survive broken up independently country wise without a head-office?
So basically, please keep sending us money, we’ll send you bikes that haven’t been a great commercial success (for whatever reason), except now we’ll provide no warranty back-up/support etc.My understanding is the distributors can continue to order direct from the factories(as they always have), but only until the albeit cosiderable existing stocks are used up.

Not convinced many bike brands, like Kona, were anything more than cleverly marketed mass produced bikes we enjoyed in our younger more naive days, and now look upon with misty eyed nostalgia. I can understand the love for brands which were hand built by boutique bike makers for specific individuals - but even then it's only the frame which is special. One XT rear mech of a particular year is exactly the same as 20K other ones.
All that said, I still remember seeing my first Kona in the early 90s - and instantly getting why it was the geometry it was, admiring the aesthetics and feeling a little envious of the person riding it.
