Another Canadian Company Closes

Dekerf are closing their doors on January 31st 2007.

Dekerf Cycle Innovations Closing Its Doors

There will still be approximately 50 Dekerf frames built over the next few months before the expected closing date of January 31, 2007. Anyone interested in purchasing one of these truly special frames can contact Dekerf Cycle Innovations. 604-241-1143.

One silver lining to this is that their reputation in the UK will at least be saved from further damage by the scambay trading.

In the UK as we give away our civil liberties in the name of freedom it might be handy to be aware of Photographers Rights.
