Yep, I saw a bunch of them 12 years ago or so when I was on vacation in Los Cruces, NM. They seemed quite nice for the price and I hears good reviews from riders. I'm not sure if they're actually from So. America or from Mexico. As I understand the story they were some guys from another company who split off when everything started to switch to mountain bikes. They were also building from a huge stash of old-stock lugs and tubes. Of course this is just the story I've hear so take it with a grain of salt.

Checking the archives list master Dale says Columbia is the place or origin after I posted a similar question. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.
