How rare have those OP Rollers become?

I knew I should have bought another one when I had a chance, but I thought with a bike that popular, they would keep producing it. But no.... I've been combing Ebay and Craigslist for a couple years now, and I think finding evidence for Bigfoot might be easier.

Anybody know who produced those bikes for Ocean Pacific, and why they stopped? They'll sell the .... Cranbrooks forever...

Good question, if I remember correctly,they got a lot of bad press, probably cause they were sold at Walmart, but I love that frame. Forgot all about them till you brought it up. I remember researching them, but can't remember who made them.

I did have problems with the bottom bracket of the one I bought. Al at Bike World here in Vegas told me that the cups were cross-threaded during original assembly. I had a sealed bearing BB put in, but it still makes some noise, and will probably fail again eventually.
