Do you think they will be of the same quality thou,as they were a solid rim before they went bust.do you think build quality will suffer to bring manufacturing cost down

There are 2 styles available new now.....

The MO will be back online October time

and NO they will not be as good quality, I was told they would be made in europe somewhere probably France.

So, hence they will not have the 'Made in England stamp on'


QUOTE --

Just thought I would let you know that the current next production date for the 8x18 MO6 in 8x18 is October..

Sorry for the late reply… but at least now I can give a date when they will be made again.

I thought the same but read a post a little while ago, its the foundry where the wheels were made that went down, not comp themselves. As said above, they being made elsewhere now.
