The firm went bankrup in September 1931. This was announced just as Australian Opperman won the sprint in the Paris-Brest-Paris race! Upon his arrival, he learned that his bonus will not be paid.

Upon arrival, Sir Hubbert Opperman was greeted by his wife.

Despite the firm having been bankrupt, the brand was on display at the 1955 Salon du Cycle in Paris
