"We believe that the Team Plan C program was very effective in helping us
establish previous bike lines in the USA and we are thrilled to work
together again with the STEVENS brand. We wish Rebecca and David success
in the upcoming events and can't wait to get the rest of the team onto the
best Cross bikes in the world...STEVENS!!!"
