What happened to Vanilla/Speedvagen?

Vanilla and Speedvagen used to be the standard bearer. Looks like their websites are dormant and I haven’t heard or seen anything from them in years. Any idea what happened to them?

There is lots of speculation and no solids that I have heard. I went to the Made show in PDX last summer where they were listed to have a booth and were a no show. Talking to locals I got everything from 100% toast to regrouping to re open. I have not tried to contact him but have read other threads in forums that no reply was coming from corporate. Love his body of work and am hoping to see the Vagens being built in the future.

You may wish to check out this thread on thepaceline.net forum, where there are more people who either admire his work and/or own his frames.
