@jaytdubs: No worries, I was replying to trashpander's original comment, not yours.

Former Revel employee here. Guess that makes me one of the sellouts. Sorry we didn't meet your expectations but I will say that the vast majority of dealers and distributors we worked with had a great relationship with Revel because we greatly valued their partnership and their customers loved the bikes. Simple as that. I think it's pretty far-fetched to say that PE ruined everything and the company "sold out". I'm sorry you were left with such a negative impression as to take on a crusade of anti-Revel posts in any relevant Pinkbike comments section. Based on what I know I don't think your experience can be extrapolated to any far-reaching claims or is indicative of any bigger trends. Just an example of where Revel could have done better perhaps. I can tell you from experience that Revel was a gritty, creative, hard-working small team where everyone was trying their best to bring something new and exciting to the industry and definitely not a group of corporate sell-outs. Of course YMMV. Hope the riding in Japan is treating you well trashpander.
