The final chapter in the long-running saga of Mountain Cycle has now been written.
Mountain Cycle was once a beloved local brand with a factory in North Portland, a presence on the local cyclocross scene and even a ‘cross bike named the Stumptown.
According to a press release I just received, the new owners have decided to set up their headquarters in Seattle Washington.
The press release says that under new management the brand is poised for a “new lease on life,” and that “the company plans to rebuild Mountain Cycle back into the innovative and rider oriented brand that it started out as back in 1988.”
It’s too bad because I thought they were well on their way to doing that right here in Portland.
