Default "China-Dale" Rumor??

Prior to the official auction in March its only a rumor and I hate to spread it but. . . . . I have read on other boards that at the INdy show a potential buyer will take much if not all of the component manufacturing to RED CHINA???

Seems like anything and everything is going to Commnunist CHINA! I hope its not true. There is something WRONG with sending US jobs to the communist party.

Amen to that. I try very hard to buy as little as possible with "Made in china" stamped onit. I also try my best to purchase Items with "Made in USA" stamped on them. Sometimes all you have to do is look at all the itmes on the shelf. There's usually one equally priced with the rest that is domestically made.

I've heard Japan, Mexico, Phillippines...as you said it is all just rumors...why keep spreading them when we don't know what will happen? In around a month we will know the truth and all the speculation will be over for better or worse.

You're missing my point...I was commenting on the continual rumors being posted again and again. I have read and talked to a lot of people who seem to have good or solid info. But I doubt if we really know what is going to happen until the outcome is announced officially.

If that is the case, you will be able to buy a cannondale moto at wally worrld. yuk. The chinesse will screw it up, but it will cost less.

I'm sure you have better info than me but great you have talked to people at c-dale and a country is buying them....Has it been made official....ahh no...still missing my point. Who in China is buying the PRA? Is Rad to go a front co. for someone? Who are Brain Kennedy's backers? Who really is Brain Kennedy an importer or overseas mnfg? Maybe the chinese are going to buy them it wouldn't suprise me. I think it would be the worst possible thing to happen to c-dale and end the co as we know it but as I have no say or input thats the way it goes. It is still all rumor with few solid facts lets just wait and see.
