Fabien is in contact with the big companies. However we are no longer in the 90ies and interest in new engines is limited to a narrow circle, at least only a few people are willing to pay for a new engine. The offers therefore are not breathtaking. ;-) Furthermore the big players don't release in two weeks from the start of the negotiations so Fabien decided to go first with an UCI-only release on our own website. However it is still not unlikely that on some point Fruit will be sold through some of the major players. You will understand that I can't say anything concrete the only thing I can say it will take time. Joachim
