Chris Tutton purchases Easton Cycling, seen pressing fingers together saying "Excellent".

Easton had been on a big selling spree recently, with Baseball & Hockey sold off a little while ago, and Riddell previously up on the blocks.

But I was a little surprised when earlier this week the press release came out that Chris Tutton had stepped in and bought Easton Cycling.
