Don't know if this is really a racing question...
I noticed last summer that you never see Descente cycling gear anymore. Several years ago, that was one of the class brands. Anybody know what happened to them?

I saw a really good review of their winter gloves.
It's always been quality stuff - I have a jacket that's lasted for over 20 years now.

Descente USA is now part of Veltec - the company that distributes Colnago, Sidi, and some other products in the US.

Always look at the post date before adding a reply but thanks for the blast from the past. Oh, and I'm rocking all sorts of Descente gear -- guess they got things turned around these past seven years. :P

Everything is kept.... it's just that sometimes morons don't think before they reply the threads they searched for. Oops, that was rude. At least it wasn't a newb.
now this is taking the search funtion to whole new level. later.
