I believe the Ice Bear bikes are produced in their own factory. Cannot remember the name of it, however. Skyteam USA is NOT the official importer of Skyteam bikes--the CT clones are currently imported by SSR, Pitster Pro, and Roketa (they have my favorite looks, btw), so them dropping them should in no way impact SSR, Pitster, etc. still carrying them. But, again, I believe the Ice Bear ones are their own clones. For selfish reasons, I hope you get the Ice Bear to report on their quality, since you will be the first one to get one (vs. various reports I have read here and there about Skyteam's bikes, as well as youtube videos, and the link that Birdmove put here). On the other hand, other than price, I couldn't imagine pulling the proverbial trigger on one over the proven Skyteam bikes.
