It's a bad time to owe money.
Sad news, but let's hope that a positive outcome will follow.

Whether you like their stuff or not, it is a sad outcome. I find it hard to imagine that some entity won't pick it up. The name is instantly recognized in the bike world and in a good way.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I really, really hope that a company that is decent and "honest" to the sport will pick it up again, so that nothing like the Schwinn fiasco will happen.

That is one sad photo right there…when I was a nine year old drawing dream bikes, I always made sure they were all spec'd with Turbine LP's.
