Yeah, it is true ... "Direct Cycles" is actually a good name ... "Direct" would make a good downtube decal.
Yup, and the marketing advice i provide is, like BD bikes, at an incredible discount. I usually charge $1000 for my opinions, but this one is marked down to only $150 with tax included!

We dont have Performance stores near where I live, so I only ever see Scattante bikes when on RAGBRAI since so many come from Chicago(where there are Performance stores) and elsewhere to ride. Just saw a handful of them on last week's ride. I chuckle to myself while riding as I think of the different ways to pronounce that and question who decided to name the house brand that. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Performance's house brand was called...Performance.
