    I believe so. The same people are still going to be running things for CSG-UK. Charge are certainly on the new CSG website.

    Oh phew. I just warranty claimed on a cracked carbon Zaskar frame this week actually. Close call :) To their credit, they were very good, whoever they were.

    They are still going! The two guys who owned it are staying and now just run it. they didnt go bust or anything. Hot wheels is one of the most profitable bike companies out there. they have just been bought out by a larger compnay. They will keep all the same brands however they may offer cannondale as well.
