Tange's web site does not say anything about Long Shen's closing.
Does anybody have definitive information?

As keirin bicycle manufacturer, it is disaster...

Local dealer says that it can be reproduced from winter as soon as it is lucky, but if the situation is not good, it may not be able to produce it forever.

no more cool fork crown for max blades...

Yikes !

Is this the end of the line for lugged steel bikes?

Are there no alternatives?

I've had all of my tools (34 different parts) transported to another foundry several hours away. I'll let you all know when the casting resumes. In the meantime, my inventories were in good shape so I had no worries. On the other hand, for those who depend upon stock designs that LS sold from their catalog pages, it may be a trying time going forward.
