Anyone have any info on the now defunct Dirt Research company. I've seen some of their frames and they look great. The search function pulled up 5 posts with little info. Google gave similar results.

Tim,
As I was bored this morning, I dug a bit deeper to see what I could find. It appears that Dirt Research frames were produced by Tom Teesdale (who, among other things, produced Gary Fisher Mt. Tams from 82-89, Marin Team Issue frames 89 & 90, the original prototypes for Barracuda and did work for VooDoo, Jamis and Dean.
If you're that enamored with Tom's handiwork, he's still making frames under his own label: T.E.T. Cycles. (http://www.tetcycles.com)
You can read more about him here:

Hope this helps.

I saw that this morning when I tried to Google it. Thanks
It appears that there is no website or forum dedicated to the old Marque. A guy in New England bought a warehouse full of the frames and is selling them off on ebay. Just wanted to know what the story was on them.
