If you read the item on Velonews about it, it looks like spot fell into buying it, so that’s either good in terms of ‘they’ll just leave it as it is’ or bad in terms of ‘now they have it they’ll feel the need to mess with it’ but it seems Frank Scurlock was an inital investor in Maverick in the late 90′s so he’s probably a little more trustworthy not to screw with it, and Paul Turner’s going to carry on designing for them.
Who knows, sometimes these things actually work out for the best.
They haven’t knobbed Spot per se, just diversified from what they were good at while still doing the old stuff, but forgot to mention this on their website and covered it in pics of only belt drive bikes.
Or are they just going to knob it like they seem to have done with Spot.
I hope not, but I fear they will.
