            DELAWARE COURT RULES AGAINST GOLDEN CYCLE

          WYNNEWOOD, PA, December 11, 1998 -- On Thursday
afternoon the Delaware Chancery Court ruled against the motion of
Golden Cycle, LLC seeking, among other things, to enjoin payment
of the $4 million bust-up fee which Global Motorsport Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CSTM) has agreed to pay to Stonington Partners.  Vice
Chancellor Lamb ruled that the break-up fees were not preclusive
and would not be enjoined.  Commenting on the opinion, Roger
Grass, Vice President of Golden Cycle, said "We are disappointed
with the Court's ruling.  Golden Cycle is not prepared to pay
more than 77[cents] per share on top of the $20 per share we proposed
to pay for substantially all Global shares not owned by us
without due diligence to justify the additional cost.  Management
of Global Motorsport has consistently refused to grant us such
due diligence.  As a consequence, if Stonington is prepared to
close their tender offer on Monday, we intend to tender our
shares in their offer."

Golden Cycle has agreed to indemnify Jefferies & Company and

it or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or

the disclosure of certain information concerning Jefferies &
Company. Andrew Whittaker (an executive vice president) and Louis
Fienberg (a senior vice president) of Jefferies & Company may
assist Golden Cycle in the solicitation of consents of
shareholders.  Jefferies & Company engages in a full range of

held no shares of Global Common Stock for its own account.
