Nashbar is owned by Performance Bicycle. Performance Bike is owned by a private equity firm, North Castle Partners. (

Rumor has it that Dorel, owner of Cycle Sport Group (read: Cannondale, GT, Schwinn, Mongoose), is in talks to acquire Performance Bicycle. (

Thanks for the information. I did not know that. Well, as Kurt Vonnegut would probably say, "So it goes".
I had heard that at one point, REI had a stake in Nashbar. Any truth to that, or is that in the "urban myth" category?
