From Jim Cunningham at CyclArt:
"CyclArt did the start-up image
package for them: company name, marketing hooks, logo design and original finish
design. They were a small outfit run by a fellow (Doug Gloyd) who ran a
cabinet making shop in Monrovia, CA. I though we got them off to a good start,
we even had their racers wearing the tricolor war paint at races. We painted
their production bikes for a while. They hired a new sale manager/team director who
wanted to use neon colors then in fashion. I thought it was counter to the
image I tried to create for the company. He took his path and drifted away.
Soon after they were gone."
1991: models include the
Racer, Pony and Spirit as well as the elevated chain stay Warrior.
February 1991 bike review from
Mountain Biker magazine:
May 1991 ad:
1992: models listed as Racer
and Spirit. (the Warrior wasn't listed but is listed for 1991 and 1993 so I
would assume it was still available).
1992 advertisement:
1993: models listed as
Racer, Spirit, Warrior and Cloud (with rear suspension). From Tom Teesdale @ TET
Cycles "We made them in 93 mostly. Brave was a fairly short lived adventure.
Couple hundred of them at most."
