 People moved on to other companys like Saint for their cranks which was the main thing that Race Face sold? the market moved and RaceFace had to bare the brunt of it..

 npyke, saint isn't a company, they're made by shimano. Raceface had a huge range of products. They went under because of unpaid debts, missed orders etc.

 Top result for the fella. He always smells nice as well and maintains his looks with a full on facial moisturiser-a true modern day man! Good that he's landed on his feet rather than his front wheel, but it looks like the velcro on his full fezza is leaving him a bit thin uptop. Nice one Jon!
