So, What will happen with the likely quality issues in the 2009 products line ? Who will be responsible ?
Exactly what I was wondering,Who's covering future Warranty claims?

Viki about the future of KGB
« Reply #31 on: October 12, 2009, 03:16:26 PM »
Since many have been wondering what´s going to happen with KGB and their products Viki is here to clarify a few things:

"As Martti said it s a business decision. Like in F1 someone has to go to Ferrari and other one has to go to McLaren. But, KGB products will be still available till 2010 and till they are ALL sold out!
Now for a better price so pls contact me over www.kgbflat.com. For 2010 there will be a new "NEUTRAL" company where I will colaborate doing designs. As you know all our KGB designs have been made by me and my best friend from Madrid and now like every year we have something really new and light for 2010! Stay tunned and ride on! All the best to everyone!"

So lets get this understood ... it was "KGB - Kuoppa Gomez Bikes" ......

Martti has left KGB so it will become "GB - Gomez ByHimself"

Martti will continue on with "Ground Tactics - AKA GT".


Am I the only one who see's a sense of humor / irony in this?
I really hope the next frame to come out from GB is called the Benidorm.






yea your an idiot with way too much time to overanalyse everything... try riding one of those bikes in your collection
hehe

Is this that frame we saw melting at some contest a few weeks ago? Or is it the same geometry but now in alloy?



If so, can this be the return of alloy to flatland frames? 1Kg? Would it hold?

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

what does this mean for the August 2010 competition KGB started? the one about having the most original style. I know it wasn't just KGB sponsoring it, but they're the one's to introduced it.

Ok, so did Vicki know that Martti was putting out this newsletter?  Nothing on the KGB site, why?  Is Vicki saying he will continue with some kind of flatland parts endeavor?

I will check back in a few days, maybe some answers will be forthcoming.  I was thinking about those space forks with the cool brake.  KGB took chances with innovating products, which is risky.  Flatland is not a cash market in the first place...
