BroDeal said:So Ball is not only a flake, he is also an idiot. His company is going down the tubes and he is wasting money setting up a bike "manufacturing" company. That douche has also been stringing the riders along while knowing that there was a good chance that he would not be able to pay them for the year.

Wallace said:So let's see... you're worried about your job security and long term prospects and trying to save a little money. What's it going to be, the $200 jeans with the fancy stitching on the a$$ at Nordstroms, or a $30 pair of Levis 501s at Fred Meyer? I'm so surprised that R&R is going belly up. But I'm sure this will have absolutely no effect on the distribution of their pricey bike with the fancy logo on the bars--they'll just do a little "restructuring" and that'll fix everything.

Was talking with one of the guys from Rock's team today at Bicycle Therapy (local shop)he was telling me the news about Rock declaring Chap. 11. Said they probably won't even be selling any bike gear on the site. Not sure if that was short term or final plans.
He said he was supposed to go to Mexico next week for a race, but he was not even sure if he was going now or not.
EDIT
In other news reguarding cycling kits, the Team Radio Shack store is open. Your "Fred" riders can now choose to wear Radio Shack stuff now.

MacRoadie said:Thank you for confirming that there are, in fact, only 3 cool people in Philly.
Now, as for the wanna-be kits....
