I've been wanting a MOB frame for like 2 years and as I'm finally getting ready to buy one I heard that they've split from S&M. S&M is an awesome company so I'm wondering if Black Mrkt is still gonna be as good?

Any thoughts or news on this?

They are all designed and still will be designed by Carter Holland so things wont change? Maybe?

A lot will change. Tubing for the Mob was sourced through S&M. It was Supertherm, custom drawn and swaged butted tubing and hand made in California.

Who knows where they will be manufactured and what grade of tubing after the switch.

The Riot and .357 frame are manufactured overseas so maybe the Mob will join them.
