Anyone know if they're still in business? Can't seem to find a website for them? Thanks in advance.

Well I found this but damned if I can get the site to work in either Firefox or Safari.

Just updated my Firefox and still can't get the page to work. It loads, but no navigation. Will someone send me a link to seatposts?

Yeah, but that Speedgoat you are thinking of has been gone for a
Loooong time. The original guys were no longer around, AFIK, when they moved operations to Illinois.
I also was a big fan of them in the mid '90s for mountain bike gear. And shipping was lightning fast from West PA to MD. Good times.

It seemed to me that they were quite active in their cycling community.

Original speedgoat, chirs etc. was THE place back then

I guess Andy must be second guessing bailing from brandon...unless he thinks living in Illinois with no job better than living in SLC with job...that guy seemed charming in his video reviews but he wasnt such a personable guy on the phone

Andy is doing quite well now, actually. He relocated to SF and has a great job with a cool company...and a new baby too. Andy was always a great guy in my experience, but that's just one opinion.
