GOLDEN, CO (BRAIN) - Wayne Lumpkin, founder of Avid, has acquired majority interest in Spot Brand, manufacturer of mountain, cyclocross and commuter bikes and integrator and distributor of Gates Carbon Drive belt systems through CD Enterprises.

Spot Mayhem 150 Geometry The chainstays, at 440 millimeters, are slightly longer than the Mayhem 130's 435 millimeters and should provide a more balanced ride with the longer reach. The seat angle is a consistent 77.5 degrees across all sizes - more than steep enough for the majority of riders.

The singlespeed mountain-bike brand that began in Canada in the late 1990s now resides in Golden, Colorado, where Lumpkin is steering the belt-driven brand into the realm of high-end city bikes.

BMC Fourstroke mountain bike But although Pidcock is also part of that British-based team, Pinarello doesn't actually have a suitable mountain bike in its line-up for him to ride. So, instead, the Yorkshireman has turned to Swiss manufacturer, BMC, to meet his mountain bike requirements.

In the last fifteen years, there has been a revolution of sorts in the development and use of new materials for building frames. It wasn't that long ago that frames were made out of cast iron or even wood. Today bicycles are made out of exotic materials such as titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber.

A Proven history of innovation since 1991. Spot's innovative spirit has deep roots. The Lumpkin family founded Avid in 1991 and grew the component company into America's largest brake manufacturer. After selling Avid and acquiring Spot, we turned our attention to building better bikes.
