Who owns mtbdirect?

columbian cartels. Stopped Coke because there’s more margin in bike parts, and the clients habits for boutique bikes and parts are more addictive and excuses worse!!!

Looks like those private equity jerks are getting everywhere.

 

[Mr Crudley]

You can bet that the consumer ultimately won't benefit.

Aliexpress is looking better by the minute .

I'm hoping cycling deal can go all in and throw some money at random shipping containers of pikes lol.

Yeah I saw it said that bike bug will be promoting more boutique mountain bikes.
Last time I was at pushes there was 4 x $15k+ Santa Cruz's, new colours from a month before, and that's a diy leg motor, not even electrified. What's more boutique than that?
