I know there is a thread but the last it was updated was 2006 i think.

I used to love those frames, and was always on my "grown up list" to one day own one of their frames. Last i knew about them was that they did the Triton frame back in 07, but after that they sort of vanished, and the website was never launched or anything.

anyway, anyone knows anything? or they are gone for good?:(

Had a thing for Cortina bikes 'back in the day' but could never afford one. Heard later that they had cracking issues around the headtube, dodged a bullet I guess.

It's a shame that he doesn't do frames anymore. They always where so unique, and awesome. I always dreamed of a Europa fs or a joyride with the floating shock :(

Like mentioned, they truly where ahead of their time and awesome frames. Hopefully I can find a fs or joyride some time for sale.
