I worked at a co-op that sometimes had very nice bikes donated, and i had to figure out what to do with them/ how to sell them. Had a Cyclops come through, bilaminate if I remember correctly, looked very nice. I wasn't able to find much information at that time about Mike Mulholland, but i (sort of confusingly in retrospect) did find forum posts about disgruntled customers trying to get their money back on unfulfilled orders. So, either those posts were written a long time ago, in the immediate aftermath of Mulholland's death, before people realized what had happened, or there was someone falsely claiming to represent Cyclops bicycles in order to scam would-be customers. Or i was simply confused about some other situation entirely. Either way, I wasn't exactly sure how to sell the frame because I was under the impression that Cyclops was a disgraced name. Yikes! I'm glad to get some more back story and clarification! Sometimes the internet is a strange place...

Edit: found a picture of the one we got and sold:
