Odyssey BMX Acquires G-Sport

*** Odyssey BMX of US acquires G-Sport of Sheffield ***



Gene`s BMX News -- 03/02/2005
Production of G-Sport hubs and wheels will move to
Taiwan. G-Sport - run by product designer George
French- has been working with Odyssey for 18 months
on French's Elementary Stem. A deal for G-Sport to
become part of the"Odyssey family" was agreed late
last year with the announcement of the new relationship
taking place last Wednesday.

"By becoming part of the Odyssey family G-Sport products
should become much more easily available and a little cheaper.
Especially to people in exotic foreign lands," said French.

"Because Odyssey will be covering all the stuff I am so
bad at like management, ordering, packaging and soon
the website too, I will be able to spend a lot more of my
time on new product design and development."

French remains based in the UK and will work on product
design and development for both G-Sport and Odyssey,
with the focus atG-Sport remaining on hubs and wheels.

A statement from Odyssey said existing G-Sport component
production will move to Taiwan, "but will retain the strict
quality control that has always been the hallmark of the brand."

G-Sport products will be available from Odyssey in Spring 2005.
