I thought Skoda was one of those Eastern European national companies that makes everything. Zastava in the old Yugoslavia was like that. I suppose they would've broken it up and privatized by now. Probably broke the bike branch off and sold to someone else or continued under local management. Ron |

Skoda was a *huge* engineering conglomerate, building everything from railway locomotives to armament. Dunno what that says about their bikes, though... Neither do I, but if their locomotive building is anything to go by, then it would be good, solidly engineered stuff, but without any bells and whistles. |

But if their former cars were anything to go by, it'd be cheap, fairly functional stuff but not terribly solidly engineered, let alone any bells and whistles. Feel lucky it has a radio. Jasper |

Their cars are widely used in the Mideast and other parts of the world,
often as taxis. The older ones were indeed very basic, but the new models are _far_ from bad. They have improved tremendously. "Jasper Janssen" wrote in message ...

The post-VW takeover Skodas are basically just VWs with different body styling and price. So yeah, those are much better. Jasper |

They were used extensively in the Tour de France....so they must make good bicycles ;-) Jeez, I should work in marketing! -- Mark ______________________________________ Nerves of Steel, Heart of Gold, Knob of Butter |
