 Butch Gaudy founded MTB-Cycletech ((Along with Stefan Bracher, Hans Dätwyler and Tamara Zysset.  Butch had just returned with Tamara from operating the Double B Mototel in Cazadero, CA in the late 70's and early 80's.))
 in 1983 in Bern, Switzerland after living in California just north of [[people:repack|Repack]] and having brought an early mountain bike back into Switzerland.
-His first MTB was likely made in 1983 by [[rossin:start|Rossin]], who were Italy's first maker of mountain bikes in the same year.
+His first MTB was likely made in 1983 by Ferraroli of Switzerland.
 MTB Cycletech has had various ups and downs, having stopped making bikes at least thrice, perhaps from 1990->1993, 1998->2001 and with its most recent bankruptcy in the spring of 2021.
 MTB Cycletech resold Klein and Specialized bikes in Switzerland, often with smaller MTB Cycletech stickers.  Then in 1994, a year after Butch moved back to Cali, a new wave of MTB Cycletech //Shockwave//, //Shockbuster.// and //Steelite// models appear in Switzerland, made by Easton USA.
