Ski Brands on Bikes

[Philpug]

With the discussion of Rossignol starting to offer bikes HERE. They are in a long line of ski related brands that offered bikes, some successful, some, not so much.

Lets post some here. Now, it will be easy to rattle off the names but what fun is that. Do some work and find pictures like the one that I will start off with.

Eddie Bauer, Sharper Image, Salomon, Head, etc have been adding and cutting product lines across many different categories for eons.
My son has Yamaha guitar.

Here's my 1975 Yamaha Moto-Bike. Bike brand that made skis, still makes all kinds of musical instruments..

I do believe the changing climate is influencing ski company decisions to diversity to more year round product offerings. We will also soon be seeing ski company branding on golf gear right?

I have since sold it, but my first mountain bike was a SCOTT (pictured below with my son about 10 years ago). And yes, I did buy it around 1990 because it was a ski brand. Looks pretty simple now but in 1990 it was pretty cool!

OMG that stem looks so crazy long compared to what you see these days!

Bit high rise that stem - have a 92 Stumpy comp with a similar length but way flatter.

I never owned a Look branded bike, but they certainly are nice. All of my road bikes, on the other hand, are equipped with Look clipless pedals...
