What happened to Padded Cell?:

In lieu of recent misinformation and internet speculation, we would like to take this opportunity to clear the air on what happened between Odyssey and our former UK distributor, Padded Cell.

In September 2006, Padded Cell’s parent company, Cool Brands LTD, then Hi-Gear LTD, began to default on payments. In an attempt to help keep Padded Cell supplied, an exception was made to our customary “upfront” payment rule and Cool Brands was offered 60 day terms. As time moved on, Cool Brands continued to default on payments and a substantial six-figure US dollar debt began to build. In mid-2007, we expressed interest in looking for a second, non-exclusive, UK distributor, hoping that this would assist Cool Brands by relieving some of the financial pressures that they were dealing with. However, the option of allowing a second distributor was quickly denied by Cool Brands, who chose instead to close Padded Cell, using the return delivery of their existing Odyssey inventory to balance the ledger on the longstanding debt they had accumulated with us.

The Padded Cell employees were a passionate and dedicated team that had the misfortune of being stuck in the middle of all this, and it should be understood that they were not to blame for Cool Brands’ inability to make the required payments.

In the wake of this disbanding, the former Padded Cell employees have started Zeal Distribution, a company that is independently owned and operated by James Hitchcox. The Zeal team is highly dedicated and passionate about their work, and we're sure that everyone will be hearing a lot from them very soon. Please contact James, Aaron and Neil for more information on how your shop can carry products from Mankind, Superstar, Standard Byke Co, Sputnic, BSD, Alone and Manmade Clothing in the UK.

INTERBIKE. thats it its over

Yes it was a tandem.
It was a hit at the show. The first part of the first day, people were impressed, but scared to ride it. After the first couple patrons bombed up and down the aisles, it caught on. The bike was out of the booth more than it was in it, for the rest of the show. NORA cup winner Matthias Dondois was doing spinning front wheel manuvers, and Jimmy Le Van figured out how to bunny hop it. It was wild. Good times. Thanks to Jason Ball and Neal Wood at S&M for making the frame for us.

Nuno and Jim at the dry erase voice bubble wall. It got hit up a lot, and many pictures were taken, insulting your friends.

This was impressive. Ashton (left) and Chad (right) used the incubator boxes to build that wheel from scratch! There were spokes, nipples, hubs, and rims in the display and these guys from Pedal and Spoke ltd in North Aurora, IL took it upon themselves to build that wheel using the gloves. Let me tell you, it couldn't have been easy with no screwdrivers or spoke wrenches and bulky gloves on. Nice team work.

Someone, who will remain unnamed, accidentally sold a prototype fork the last day of the show. So if you bought a Race fork from the booth we would love it back. We will send you a new fork, and something else of your choice for free. If you won't send it back, at least let us know how its doing. Kinda like Airwolf I guess.
