Ceased to Exist

[Silvergoat]

There are two Onzas – a UK one with the old familiar logo from the 90's catering for BMX, and then a new Swiss-based company with a different 'goat-horned' logo producing a new range of tyres. Don't know how active the UK one is although they have an operational website. The Swiss one just isn't the Onza we knew BITD.

Plenty of brands were just marketing men slapping a logo on some far eastern parts. Zoom? Clubroost?

Coyote (California based, they were around in the late 80s, early 90s).

They were based in Sun Valley Idaho. They made it look like a ski shop owner in Boise set it up to sell bikes in the summer, but it was really 2 Scott employees whow were based in Sun Valley in the 80s and knew where Scott had the bikes made. THey formed Research Dynamics and Tim named his property the Coyote ranch.

May as well add GT to the list after they were mothballed indefinitely by their parent company.

As an Industry insider I can tell you they are totally screwed right now and trying to re-arrange the deck chais on the Titanic
