Looks like the owners of Backcountry and Competitive Cyclist own a piece of the company as well.

Prepping the soil for the US distribution?

The pics of the assembly area were sweet. Looked like typical high end German auto manufacturing plant in the handmade section, squeaky clean floors, everything immaculate and organized.

The LBS mentioned in the article sounds like a good one.

Great article. Thanks.

And, look at those sparkling, efficient facilities! Ah, the Germans. Gotta love em. Now, a GREXIT (German!)--that would be something worth worrying about!

Interesting though it doesn't look like their factory actually has an assembly line it looks more like cottage industry organization. Perhaps because every bike is customizable for parts?
