Dekerf Cycle Innovations to Continue Operations

After having announced the closing of Dekerf Cycle Innovations back in September of last year, Chris Dekerf, the founder and owner of the company, has reconsidered that decision. Since announcing the close, the company has received a flood of support from both retailers and consumers in the form of orders and encouragement to continue producing the legendary frames.

Today, the company launched its new 2007 website. The new site amalgamates the former UK and Canadian sites into one new site with much more depth, and consumer participation. For 2007 the company also brings forth an expanded product line including new road, cyclocross, titanium, and 29R models.

The company will also forge ahead with a new and innovative business model, allowing consumers to have better access to Dekerf products and information, and at the same time continuing to support retailers who in tern support the brand.

Chris Dekerf wishes to thank all those whose voices of support and encouragement have led to this decision to continue the brand”

Twenty Nine Inches wishes DeKerf Cycle Innovations all the best in it’s new, reinvigorated form. Look for more updates on the 29″er models as they become available!

    dirtpedaler: You might want to check WTB’s registered names. They used to build a steel hardtail called the Phoenix, and might not take too kindly to having another builder using that name, but I’m not up on the legalities of such things, so who knows?

    At any rate, it appears that Dekerf is planning 29″ers in steel and titanium, so it will be fun to see how they turn out.
