which bike companies do you wish would make a comeback?

- Start date
Another call for Pace to comeback.
Okay companies evolve, but I do wish they still made forks. And frames. Hell I could even get over the lack of squareness if they were made in Yorkshire.
I liked the way they tinkered and just made stuff. Now they are little more than a posh On-One.
Snobbery - probably

How about Mantis ? S-Bike ?? Zinn ?
Old brands where it appears to have gone wrong and who maybe should call it a day include Kona and Muddy Fox. They just look like they are built like tanks now and serving the "my teenage son wants a bike" (Halfrauds) market. I heard Saracen have attempted a comeback...but on efforts so far, not looking too good.

None of them. They just end up as once-proud badges stuck on a frame that has no tangible link to the machines that company once made.
I like the idea of still extant companies doing a classic re-issue - like the Stumpjumper - but resurrecting dead brands - forget it.
