58 delray:
we all know about shiners and the masive roll they played in importing  parts and bikes into the country but what about the other distributors, what happened to them, does anyone know?

ammoco (mongoose) went bust as far as i know
gecko (kuwahara) i dont know
alans (Robinson/Torker) still going

what others were there and where are they now ?

Dannywhac:
Hot Wheels distro'd a load of stuff - now Cycling Sport Group UK?

That Swan Guy:
GT was solely Wheelways in Grimsby in the eighties.

The shop has long gone and as we know GT sold it's soul to the commercial devil that is Halfords etc.

neil:
There was Ron kitching this they did suntour

PHIPPSIO:
Freewheeler leisure were the importer for Haro before Shiner. They brought the first Freestylers into the UK. Shiner then took on a joint deal with them but quickly became more successful due to other brands they had like SE and the relationship they had in the trade. Freewheeler went on to create Prolite and were then sold. I think it was acrimonious.
