What happened to Prolite?

(1/5) > >>

WizardWeb:
Looking through the Neil Ruffell tribute pages on Anyruffell.com, it suddenly struck me that Craig was only on Prolite for a year or so, then went back to Skyway.

Any idea why?  ??? Did Prolite have cash issues, too many returned frames....?  ???

theRuler:
either they folded, or the company that owned them pulled out of bmx

they came back though
in the 90's they had a few bikes

t.i.t.s. and light as a feather were two of them

billstup:
It was because Freewheeler Leisure Products decided that they would withdraw completly from the bmx market, and it was them who distributed the Prolite range. This meant that Craig no longer had a sponsor, and the deal with him going back on to Skyway was that Peter Hawkins and Craig could not have anything to do with Prolite, so Peter told me at last years Southsea reunion anyway  :daumenhoch:

That was interesting. i didn't know that. Did Peter mention if he had any spare CC prolites lying around then?

poppers:
Would certain Prolites be worth good money nowadays then?
