J.KYDD Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Surprised this hasn't been posted already. The iconic Canadian components company Race Face has gone bust Story here http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Race-Face-The-Official-Press-Release.html and for a more detailed look http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/article/race-face-confirm-closure-rumours-29633 Such sad news, loved RaceFace so much. Seem like they've always been a really 'complete' company. Great components, great clothing - both casual and riding and always had a sick line-up of team riders. Really hope this isn't the end for them and someone steps in to help sort the problems and drive the company on. Till then, i'll keep my eye out for some 10spd Next carbon cranks going cheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 There was some talk of it on here, can't remember where though. A few people seemed to think a bigger company may buy the brand and keep it going - I don't know if that would happen, but it would be good to keep the brand alive!

Luke Rainbird Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 There was mention that CRC were looking into buying them, though how much of that it true is anyone's guess, and how much of a good thing that would or wouldn't be is an entirely different matter. Won't be the same, either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't really remember any Raceface product that was actually... good. I really don't care when a company that makes mediocre products goes under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Beach Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Raceface was one of the mtb cOmpanies I least expected to go bust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfoss - BANNED Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Really bad news. Silverfish have always pushed RaceFace but the moden stuff just never looked that nice i felt. The 2p share buy doesn't even apply for them which is a really bad loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
