Hey guys, some of you guys likely remember us. We designed and manufactured several innovative products for the Banshee platform. We are still around, still making parts, but we got bit with the "copy cat" deal, and ultimately China. A few guys up in the Northern states decided to take a dive in trying to make our parts. They chased inferior but cheaper methods, and ultimately sent some parts to China to get made, not realizing how China works. China LOVES to make yow pahts because they get prints and design data, and it only took a few months before China was selling them directly in the USA.... Yes, we mostly had to shut phones down because we were getting too many calls about product issues and they were not even our parts! I don't have time for that BS! No, we are far from out of business, but we simply had to walk away from this space for now. We lurned.... There are a lot of people that want to bash your product, then go try to copy it. I guess it comes with the business but I think we need to stick with engineered components where most copycats can't walk. But enough with the rant there, most everyone we dealt with in the Banshee space, including Mr. HQ Tyler, has been super to work with! I can still mostly put a Banshee together blindfolded, but some of you have me beat! We really enjoyed finding unique problems that needed solved and you guys were part of that story! I am not saying we won't return, but if we do, it will be quite different. I guess part of getting away from this space is not being in contact with our customers that bought our parts! I take that part serious and we are still trying to figure a way to open a channel for those folks. But I know we worked to make quality products that last, not make the cheapest, so hopefully those parts are still out winning races. B
