I don't know if I trust you either...vincent said:The rumor is confirmed. Steve Peat will run with Santa Cruz season 2006. According to diverse consulted sources, the British runner will be in the rows of Santa Cruz Bicycles next to Nathan Rennie in season 2006 of reduction. After long negotiations, Peat dissolves its personal equipment Orange that he himself maintained like manager, and will happen to integrate the equipment Santa Cruz, one of most powerful of the competition of present reduction. Still the details in the agreement are not known, but it is possible to be said that it is already a fact. Peat in Santa Cruz.
I too don't really trust that source but it's a beginning

As far as I know, a dude named Lester is the only owner. SUPER nice guy too, met him at Ft Bill.julian_dh said:transcend i though peat owned a fair amount of orange? if he leaves their gonna loose a **** load of money.
If you met the kid you would have no doubt that he does.Bicyclist said:I wander if you wander about pivits?
Hah, the "xxxx rider won yyyy race on zzzz bike so therefore zzzz MUST be good bikes" debate is pretty funny, especially when riders change teams.RaID said:maybe he needs a non-single pivot bike to win the worlds :devil:
You might be thinking of Royal Racing? Pretty sure he owns at least part of that?julian_dh said:transcend i though peat owned a fair amount of orange? if he leaves their gonna loose a **** load of money.

No, I said some of the 'funding' will come from UK, but he would be a Intl. Santa Cruz rider ala Rob Roskopp would be his boss.Transcend said:Peaty's contract isn't for sure yet. Orange is "still in negotiations" but have admitted that SC has made an offer they cannot match.
He iwll not be riding for sc usa, it will be the UK distributor.
