You need to speak to Callum
callum@proflex.demon.co.uk
I believe he has just moved up to Scotland but I think his company RDI is still going.

thanks simon . i was out on my bike today and with my growing confidence with dropping in and drop offs on some of the trials i feel the extra travel would make all the difference......and better brakes....

i beleve in if it aint broken mod it...... ;)

Hi there,

sorry have been really busy trying to get Rapid Descent back into the land of the living.  We moved from London, England to Stirling Scotland - but because the two regions have different jurisdictions we have had to close the company and setup a new company called Rapid Descent Scotland.  all a bit daft and bureacratic, but we did fight the English for 500 years for the privilege.  

anyway.  the result is that we have a great range of hills close to us

and some of the best mountain biking ever.

LONG TRAVEL KITS
we sold the last one some time ago and I don't have enough spare parts to make any more.  one of the jobs on the ToDo list is "open source" the designs for hobbyists.
