RF is back, let the haters hate. It's nice to see one of our own companies come back.

That's some awesome news, and I couldn't be happier for my former co-workers. With Tutton and Wills calling the shots, it's in great hands.

Congrats, guys!

no hate here...happy to see them remain in north america and continue to produce good products. can't wait to hear about this carbon fiber mumbo jumbo, even though it will crack if you look at it, ride it in the sun, or install plastic pedals into it.

Good news Monday.

 

[CBJ]

[Total Heckler]

Do you think that Carbon DH crankset will see the light of day now?

Depends on whether they hire back Jon Staples, RF's former carbon engineer. He was receiving a ton of interest from other companies, but family commitments and immigration issues were making things difficult for him to up and move.

In Tippie's quote he mentioned 83mm carbon cranks....fingers crossed

Does this mean Easton "purchase" Raceface, or what?
Will we see Raceface branded cranks, for easton? Kinda like we see over at SRAM, with Avid, Truvativ and RockShox?

Raceface will be the heavyduty stuff, and Easton more in the superlightweight stuff?

Or will the companies be completely seperate as before? How deep is this dual-position of Tutton?

 

[aanon]

Thats good news.
Will they continue from where they left off, or will it be all new stuff?
