all i know is that their style of advertising is missed. there is some subtlety in their ad's to suggest they are a swedish bike manufacturer.

check the CR site under sweden.

then again my first girlfriend was Miss Truck and Bus Show 1983.... have been to all forms of motor shows since in vain effort to relive my past but my recent success could be taken directly from one manufacturer's ad copy - "nothin' runs like a Deere".
