Some bike stuff is good, clothing wise im ME, Montane, Rab or Patigucci. Personally prefer quality and function over brand.

Which apparently is not the case with Alpkit these days.

Well the good news, according to some site called BikeRadar, is that it's been bought over by a venture capitalist. Despite the existing model failing, he's going to keep all the stores and all the staff. Must be price increases or quality comprimises incoming.

Bought it for a quid apparently I’m not sure where that leaves the current share holders.

The optimistic small shareholder comment I've seen suggests that they've had some sort of return on investment via discounts, but in the main, they'll have lost their cash.
