Never heard of them. :confused:

Do they make bikes or bits?

Just remember though the cheap mass market ones may be failing but a large majority of the expensive high class manufacturers are thriving. i.e. Orange for one.

They make bicycles, although they are quite expensive. Start at £700, and go upto £2300.

you have to really love bikes to spend that, i mean you can get a car for that, and it requires no exercise!

What a time to close down. The Tour starts in London and cycling fever hits the UK. Poor old Orbit. :confused:
