Arcadia, California – After nearly 25 years of manufacturing the world’s greatest BMX racing components, Crupi’s current owner Benny Joseph is ready for a change. Benny, now 71 years old will be focusing all of his attention on his other company; Mortech Manufacturing and handing over Crupi to his General Manager and good friend, Greg Swingrover. Greg has an extensive background in BMX including 16 years of racing experience. Greg is the founding “S” of S & M Bicycles, a 10 year veteran with GT Bicycles as well as working the past 10 years as Crupi’s General Manager and front man. Greg’s vision for Crupi is first and foremost to continue making the best “high-end” racing components on the planet as well as moving the company forward with newer products and perhaps adding a more affordable line of racing products.

Everything will be “business as usual” during and after the transition. Crupi’s phone numbers, Email’s and website will remain the same. Crupi will maintain their contract with AA Pro Mike “the Missile” Moeller and are looking forward to renewing his contract for 2007. The machine shop who has produced Crupi’s high end parts will continue making Crupi’s products so quality will never be an issue. In addition, Crupi will keep Chris Blake who is Crupi’s Master wheel builder and known for his “Blake Built Wheels”.

Greg is very excited about this new chapter in his life and is looking forward to the direction BMX racing is going now that it is recognized as an Olympic Sport!

Look for Crupi at more ABA and NBL Nationals in 2007 as well as more International racing events all over the world.
