Established in 1978, the brand is currently owned by NHS, Inc. and has an extended list of sponsored team riders.

The business was co-founded by Richard Novak, Jay Shiurman, Fausto Vitello, and Eric Swenson and the Stage 1 model was the first product.

It has remained the Indy logo since the brand's inception and was derived from the French variation of the Cross pattée.

Then in my scrap file, under the letter P, I found a Time magazine cover of Pope John Paul from the June 18, 1979 edition.
