Not incredibly surprising that WAO got acquired (they had some insane Black Friday sales in the fall & dropped frame production). I doubt they were killing it financially given this market.
But definitely glad they got picked up by a smaller NA company, not one of the conglomerates who would likely have stripped the IP and outsourced manufacturing to Asia.

We are Nine?
Pink bike has an interview with the head of both companies that goes over this in pretty good details. The companies seem like a good fit for each other and hopefully both can keep their local manufacturing going
