It is looking rather Sunday-esque.

A cross post from a Different Forum from DW himself:

---Quote

The decision to move on was completely mine, and it was a very tough decision at that.

I still remain friends with Stew Barnett the owner of WWCS, and have many friends in the company still. We built something special together over the past 6 years, and you just don't forget that over night.

The timing was right for me to move on and dw-link was part of that move for me. I wish Iron Horse and all of my friends at Iron Horse the best of luck moving forward.

And a second cross post:

---Quote

IH totally has the right to build bikes and sell them through 3-31-09. I think I've made that pretty clear in the past. The 3/31 date was originally intended to give IH a little breathing room for selling through 2008 stock etc.., but it's all good with me either way. If they want to update spec and graphics and sell some '09 bikes, that's in their power for sure. IH is a class act and I have no doubt that they intend to do the best things that they can for their business.

i think that pretty much confirms the rumour of where the DW link is going. This bike will be huge with the void in the market left by the sunday.

Er you guys are a bit slow on the uptake, DW pulled out of Ironhorse months ago, they're going to some other company (can't remember who as it's a small brand) but it definitely is NOT Giant.

The Maestro linkage has been compared to the DW link for years, this is just business as usual...
