I had a friend who owned a LBS in Philly. He used to carry them until the early to mid-2000s. He said their Texas distributor was a PITA to deal with in general. He also told me that the distributor would constantly pressure him to sell the bikes but then they turned around and opened another dealer a mile away from his shop. To make matters worse, the local rep would provide frames to unauthorized LBS. I made the mistake of mentioning that a riding buddy of mine got a C-40 from an unauthorized shop. It didn't sit well with my owner friend.
