Hopefully they wind up with some of the local Metro Vancouver companies. I was looking at my cranks last night (I'm thinking of going 1x9 for my trail bike - possibly the E13 crank) and noticed that my bashguard, middle and granny were made by three separate Metro Van companies: Straitline, RF, and Envy. Hopefully Straitline or Envy can benefit from the IP (and the heads they are contained in) that was "liberated" by RF...

I can tell you not to bet on it being eNVy, that's basically a house brand for one of the local smaller distributors.

RF was pretty unique in that all they did was bike parts - most all of the machine shops i know that do bike parts make a living by doing industrial stuff. Only do bike stuff on the side.

so that leaves Straitline... what about Chromag and/or NSB? NSB were featured somewhere not too long ago (NSMB maybe? Pinkbike?) and they were talking about expanding... maybe... if the conditions were right... One can only dream right?!

Maybe one of the bike companies from BC will be willing to make some components. Some of them are quite big after all.

dondon did say Hill used carbon cranks at MSA

The ones you are looking at ARE the carbon ones. Peaty, minaar and sam had them.
