Fueling the rumor mill: Iron Horse bye-bye?
Breaking news: Been reading rumbles today that IH is bankrupt, a liquidation company has already sold off all of their existing stock at pennies on the dollar. Other reports not as clear-cut, but I read one missive from a guy who says he was a mechanic at IH. I have found no story on Bicycle Retailer's site yet, though. Judge for yourself:

Maybe you guys could shed a little light on the Ellsworth and Turner names being mentioned in the thread at MTBR? Was there some kind of deal between them and IH?
And all that talk about RS is pretty f'in shady. WTF?

More breaking news that puts things a bit in perspective. But remember that this is from the UK distrubutorship who I'm sure is hoping to heck that what he's thinking is happening actually is:

there goes my frame warranty. I bought a brand new 07 IH road bike to goof around on a few months back. They seemed like very good bikes for the $$$. now that i think about it I don't think they make road bikes anymore so I doubt they'd warranty it anyway.
