Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
@SunsPSD: Absolutely, I'm not saying Pole was alone by any stretch. Just saying that people that bought early Nicolai and Pole bikes got a great product, and have been having fun watching other brands take 3 or 4 refreshes to arrive at the same result.
I'm also pointing out that @2004 is a tool

Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
There is at least a dozen or so Pole bikes I've seen in Ottawa, not exactly a mtb metropolis.

Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
EVERY modern trail/AM bike is settling around 64.5* head angles, 78* seat angles, and there's been a recent push of longer chain stays. You're being dense if you can't see that Pole made a bike with 2024 geo back 2017 (2016!).

Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
I've been silently loving (and beating the sh!t out of) my 2017 Pole Evolink, while watching other brands take 6-7 years to slowly converge around this exact same geometry. Bike is now 7+ years old and rides like a brand new model. Hard to top that!
