Reynolds in receivership?

Work took me to Brunswick this afternoon so after my meeting I dropped
in on Hillman's to admire their handiwork. I was looking at some lovely
frames in 853 but I was told that Reynolds has recently gone into
receivership and so their tubing may soon be all gone.

Reynolds seem very much alive & kicking, couldn't find anything on
their site.

However the Australian distributors website seems to be "under
construction"

They always seem a bit glum when I pop in - disappointed with a world
that gets it's bikes ready made in carboard boxes. I always engage in
conversation about mine which they made in 1983 (531c) and that cheers
him up. ('who's going to be riding a Giant in 20 years time
hrumph......'). Today he seemed positively beaming, but it was a nice
sunny afternoon.

However ,they haven't been able to help me in my search for a French
track hub (Normandy) lock ring. I've tried Hillbrick and Beasley's
with no luck. Harris Brown in the US becons.

I still remember with fondness my beautiful TI time trial bike frame built
from Reynolds 853.
I did some great rides on that.

sigh...I wonder where it is now? I reckon it would make my current
alluminium/carbon bike look sick.

Why oh why didn't I have the foresight to hang on to it?
