Sizzle Chest Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Very interesting... Maybe they will now come out with a dual head, 21mm throw beast of a polisher called the 'Big Feet'.

Ricky Bobby Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I was literally just about to post this. Cyclo's headquarters in Colorado now to operate as Rupes USA Inc. Waiting for Adam to take a ride down there and his impressions of the merger. Edited January 7, 2015 by Ricky Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydroBlueJK Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 i think its a good thing for cyclo, they just got bought by one of the best polisher brands in the game if i didnt have my flex i would have probably looked into a rupes, im just not a fan on the design of the cyclo it just looks too big lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thoughts, but the cyclo is a great polisher and takes less effort than a flex to maneuver around panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Was certainly a shock when we heard the news early yesterday... but definitely a move that makes sense for both sides. We are (clearly) close with the team at Cyclo and they are a first rate organization. Rupes is a rapidly growing outfit, and I've been fortunate enough to meet with them a number of times in the past year and the caliber of people there and the direction of the company is all great.We're not privy to the specifics on what this means for manufacturing or if there are any changes coming, but we welcome the change as it brings together a few great companies and when that happens cool things can be created.

Ricky Bobby Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 D, you've met with Marco before? From what I've heard he is a real swell dude. Glad to see two great companies come together, if anything us Americans can always benefit from Italian design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've met more than a few meetings with a number of the people at Rupes - everyone on their team is a class act as far as I'm concerned. Good people. Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red94chev Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I like the sound of this. I've been looking into the Bigfoot mini a lot lately. I think I'm gonna add it to the stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 So does this mean there will be a Italian made Cyclo or a US made Bigfoot? This could get good....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
