Not all bikes need be made in the USA, but stating it would make them all unaffordable is not true. So, do they distribute directly to all the Walmarts and Targets from here, or is there a warehouse? I think most people do not realize how few people it takes to run a bicycle business. Not including the factory. Hopefully the secret plans include something actually new and interesting instead of Supersix v7. Aero anyone? So much hate. Too bad. Office looks nice. Just say no to K-Cups, they create un-needed waste and your coffee tastes like whatever crap flavor the person before you made.
It looks like no one is at their cubicle. You should give us a call right now! I guarantee someone will answer the phone and help you with any CSG question you have. What was Cannondale and now … a office and a prototype place , is just a brand like many others ,Dorel has destroyed all a work and a state of art , no more handmade …. CannonDorel has rendered a once innovative, think-outside-the-box bike company to one solely focused on profit now. All their current offerings are heavy, warranty nightmares.
How many of you complaining about their production moving east supported them when they were one of the last large companies making their frames in the USA?
Well Biff…I have 8 Cannondale bikes in the family most handed down to my family members when I got a new one that were made in the USA. It was made in Taiwan; the weldings look really smooth, overall quality pretty good. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. Support us!

It is up to each of us who rely on the specialty channel to respond to this threat as we see fit. As for Specialized, we are dedicated exclusively to independent bike dealers and will continue to invest in the bikes, equipment and programs that ensure a bright future for this specialty channel. I invite any dealer who would like to speak with me further about this matter to give me a call directly.
Public are getting fatter and their kids are too sheltered to know the joys of bicycling. But I digress.
Like most bike companies, Pacific has employees in its ranks that have owned or managed bike shops, worked at several different bike companies, and have extensive experience in marketing, design, customer service, sponsorship and racing.
Perhaps Specialized is intimidated. Specialized recently issued a letter to their Alliance Dealers addressing their concerns with the acquisition of Cannondale by Dorel. As you are all aware, Dorel has acquired Cannondale. Based on this acquisition Dorel has established an entirely separate business division devoted to the Independent Dealer. Dorel is committing the resources necessary to support an IBD business model. The Cannondale Sports Group may be in its infancy.
Specialized seems concerned with our strength of resources, as well as our desire for success within the IBD channel. They should be concerned. Dealers, on the other hand, should be ecstatic that they have an option to support a supplier whose goal is to grow through partnership with multiple brands, rather than minimum floor space and strong-arm tactics.
We as an organization will owe our continued existence to the strength and health of the IBD channel, and for that reason we are committed to:. Our intentions noted above are nothing but positive and we look forward to turning these goals into a profitable reality with our IBD partners—regardless of what others may sling our way. The available resources of the Cannondale Sports Group will enable our team to approach suppliers and vendors with even greater buying power and sophistication.
