Speedvagen Warehouse Sale
Posted on the gram… between the departure of some folks including crumbs and this sale I can’t help but wonder if something’s up at the vagen, wishing them well!

I just saw that post and came here to ask the same question… are they slowing things down???
I know Crumbs recently left, and I hadn’t noticed until now but their IG page has only been posting around once a month for the past several months… definitely seems like something is “off”. Anyone in the know and able to chime in? I would be so bummed if things were heading south for them — I consider them one of the most iconic/influential brands of the past decade. |

Selling milling machines, frame-building supplies, and furniture certainly doesn't look good...

They probably just need to make room for the carbon e-bike manufacturing...

Yeah I like seeing pics of steel bikes, but overall I'd say the demand is WAY down, especially at the price points. Steel ain't real anymore...... .02

Having visited the workshop,it was crammed with stuff. I'm sure when they moved they did what we all do and said do I really want to keep this.
As an example they had an entire room of past surprise mes and surfboards stacked on each other. If anyone goes and can snag paint room pattern socks in an xl I'll make it worth your while. Last edited by pdonk; 09-25-2023 at 08:01 AM. Reason: typos |

They will be closing shop. Some of the employees want to keep the brand by moving production to Asia.

I'd guess they'll build up some hype again with a new name, Vanilla -> Speedvagen -> something? |

I heard "Mint Chip" was in the lead.

Others have asked; I'll do the same: do you know what you're talking about? Or are you just rumor-mongering? If the former, that's a shame. I've owned a few Vanillas and SVs through the years. They've all been beautiful frames. One of the SVs was part of one of my favorite bikes ever—but for an injury that changed my riding position for the worse, I never would have let it go. I wish Sacha and the gang every success, though I understand their business model causes negative reactions in some people.
