happy to re-open the discussion here as long as it doesnt go totally off the rails like the last one did. :beer: |
Ha! Just lock it now... ;)

The oldest heir Robson Walton in Arkansas held the state 40K record back in the mid 80s.
|
I guess I see it as a good thing - A cyclist who enjoys building trails and programs and has the $$ to do it buys a cool cycling company.
|
I always envisioned Nike buying them.
Kinda OT but one of the Ricketts is into cycling & bought a suburban Chicago bike shop right around when they bought the Cubs. |

Fake news...
RZC Investments only acts as a straw man.
It's actually Martin Shkreli (this guy) that's behind the deal. Rumors has it that he already has plans to raise the price for Rapha's Classic Jersey II to $8,000 (i.e. by 5,000%). |
I will admit that I freaked a bit when I heard the news yesterday but I think it's going to be a good thing.
And if it isn't, there are other clothing options. |

So does this mean they'll expand into MTB? I thought the Walton brothers were more trail less road...
