Gartrac certainly seems like a candidate to take up the Europa torch but for the moment, they appear to be happy with their Elan frame business. Since the Spyder website has not been updated with their new Europa policy it doesn't give any clues about changes to their Elan frame and parts business. Presumably, they still make Elan tube frames. If so, that begs the question why drop Europa frames and parts? I don't see why any different skills are required to build a Europa fram than an Elan frame. Certainly they still have the jigs and patterns, etc. to build them. I can see how stocking frames would be an expense they might not want to have, of course.
And that would bring up the possibility of somebody buying their patterns, jigs, drawings, etc. and producing their own copies of Spyder's frames.
The more I think about it, the more questions I have but one thing we have to come to terms with is that for whatever reason, Elans are more popular than Europas and so support for Europas will be an even more niche business than Elans (in spite of the fact that according to Wikipedia, there were roughly the same number of Elans and Europas built).
