SAPA Portland Rumored to Be Closing

[DirtyWorks]

SAPA in Portland made frames for Turner, Ventana, Mountain Cycle, Zerode, Rotec, Spooky and countless other mid-market mountain style bicycle product.

Most of those brands can't do the volume for a Giant or Merida, so.... More kinesis branded as up-market maybe?.

Where'd you hear that? If it's true, that'd be a real shame.

They'd all be better off switching to Asian producers. But, it looks like http://zenbicyclefabrication.com/ might pick up some of the spurned customers.
