Did it ever occur to you that your grumping may have pushed them over the edge? Face it... it was you that tipped it over the tipping point. I think you should give up all CO2 emissions before you do the same with the planet.

I suppose that this doesn't necessarily mean doom, but when the parent
company of "brands" such as Pacific (dept. store clunkers), Schwinn and
GT (oh, how the mighty hath fallen) buys up a company like Cannondale...
it give me pause. Hopefully I'm not hearing the splashing of
Cannondale's shark jumping.

As much as I've grumped about the Headshok lately, I really do like my
Cannondales (I have three) and would hate to see the company neutered
and turned into a ghost of itself similar to the fate the befell Schwinn
and GT.
