Is Shebeest defunct?

Has anyone asked Susan?

+1. One would think Susan or Jeff would know.

Amazon still has a lot of Shebeest stuff, no special deals though.

Well.

While looking for a dealer who stocks Lake shoes, I found this: http://www.bicycleretailer.com/news/...tail/5697.html

Short answer: the distributor for Shebeest, Lake and Descente is shutting down its US operations. As of the date of that story in July, they were looking for another distributor, as well as a buyer for both Lake and Shebeest, owned by the distributor's Dutch parent company. If things are winding down in the USA it sounds like they didn't find either.

Either a real bummer or a possible investment opportunity. Just when I thought I might be able to find shoes that fit.

Me too. I thought I had a major life problem solved with the discovery of Shebeest shorts, and now this. Bummer indeed.

Bummer - Shebeest are my favorite bike and tri shorts.

I just bought a pair from TE and wore them today for the first time. Fantastic! I'm glad I got a pair while they're still available.

Shebeest just posted on their FB page:
"Dear friends of Shebeest. We are sorry to have been absent for a while. As many of you know, we are going through some changes. Even though it may have seemed like it, we are not going out of business. Our parent company retreated from the US market and Shebeest is merely transitioning to new ownership. Thank you for your patience, loyalty and enthusiasm. Please stay tuned. We will announce specifics here as soon as we we can."
