We were contacted about a patent that we were not aware of.
We didn't have any tooling or inventory at the time.
Enforceable or not... It wasn't a war we were advised to fight.
At this point for Hyper just starting out with a high end line, we would rather focus on the objective of building...
Nice link there Sandwich.... How bout the narrow bars! haha.... late 90's early 2000's was a really fun time to be racing the World Cup circuit.
wiscodh.... I don't know if awesome is the best description? haha.... Trying to factor in all the details and the effect they have on each other...
FYI.
Hyper has never had any business link to Corsair.
Pablo designed the UNIT Linkage system for Corsair.
They made production Konig frames and some new revised prototypes.
Corsair backed away from producing bikes with this system and Hyper was going to license it from Pablo.
As stated...
There is/are no pieces that were a part of Pablo's Corsair prototype bikes that carried over.... Those bikes and designs were/are Pablo's property.
We didn't experience any of the issues you describe, but we were looking at/testing a yet to be produced design...nothing that was available to the...
Hyper is not working with Pablo for these new designs.
We are working with a guy I used to work with at GT.
I think Pablo has been really focused on the new Black Market Roam that Carter has recently announced?
They are separate brands, frames and designs.
Initially Hyper was working with Pablo to license his UNIT linkage system that was on the Corsair bikes that Cam rode.
Unfortunately for all parties involved we were informed of potential legal issues at the 11th hour, which was our mistake...
We are using the UNIT linkage system....and the adjustable drop outs of the previous versions from Pablo....we are changing up tube sets and geo to what we feel will enhance the performance or image of the previous bicycles Pablo did.
Variety is the spice of life and everyone with an individual opinion is one of the things that makes the world interesting....
I can respect and appreciate a persons choice to shop at different stores, drive different cars and drink different beverages....Heck me and my wife don't even like the...
To answer your questions
1.The high end side needs to know because we want everyone to know we are transparent about it....the last thing we want is to try to hide that we sell bikes in Wal-Mart because some people don't like that type of store....we sell bikes in Wal Mart...and we will...
Hey folks EC here....throw'n two cents in as i have over on PB.
The bike in the image is one of Cam's Corsair bikes from BITD...the Hyper bikes will be different and i assure you not at the level of what we produce for Wal Mart...Two different worlds....the only thing we really are keeping off...
It's all good...I will still be involved in the MTB scene, just with a different gig...it was a mutual decision between GT and myself... Just starting a new chapter...sad to see the end of the relationship with GT but Very excited to be doing my new gig...should have the info out in a couple weeks.
I should have posted something up here, I did in our local So Cal forum a while back.
Sorry to say but I am no longer connected with Vail Lake Resort in regards to the bike park.
Vail still has a lot of potential but there were some situations that had me take a hard look at the time...
it's not on the MTB but here is another display of Chris and his skill set...he is an unreal bicycle rider and super mellow to hang with as well.
