China is one of the 3 "companies" we've heard is bidding on Cannondale.

This is pretty reliable info.

oldsandman,
We've talked to people at cannondale

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 think the better question here is "who is bidding on them?". The "who is buying them?" question can't be answered because they are being auctioned off and I'm willing to bet there will be multiple bidders. Let's just hope a Chinese company doesn't offer the highest bid.

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 have been holding off (indefinitely) on my purchase of a Cannondale quad until I see where the chips fall... if they end up in China, then I definitely won't buy a C'dale...

?So what are you saying Sandfan? Out with it! BR>

Whoever buys them, you can be sure will make certain that parts for the Dales are available in the good ol' USA like they are with all of the other foreign made quads that are sold here. It's all about business and obviously there will be a demand for parts in America since there is already a consumer base in place.
Just my one to two cents.

Hey Oldsandman,
The way you confirm a rumour is by finding out and providing legitimate backup which makes it other than a rumour. (i.e. facts) So I guess it's not a rumour anymore.

Hey Oldsandman,
The facts are that most of us are a little uneasy with the situation because of the lack of facts, and for now they are just rumours. Where do I bye parts? At the Maybe store! I wish this crap was over.
Posted by: oldsandman
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.

"China" might be...but like I said I've heard a lot of rumors too...
Posted by: oldsandman
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.
Posted by: oldsandman
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.

How do you confirm a rumor? Sure I've heard it but there have been so many from companies to countrys...Today the rumor is Harley Davidson will be the buyer. So far it has been Polaris, Rad to Go, Artic Cat, "China" and now H-D. Nobody really knows until it is approved by the Bankrupcy Court, until then it is all just rumor.
Posted by: oldsandman
Sandfan, What are the facts?
Posted by: oldsandman
Sandfan, That is the truth! The maybe store! LOL. I wish this was over too but I guess we have to wait...It really gets old everyday hearing a new rumor! John Deere!?! Well I guess I can buy my agricultural implements and quad parts in one stop!

I hope they build them in the Communist Republic of Kalifornia.
Speaking of weird things, why does my signature keep disappearing? Is it my website? I notice others post their personal sites in their sigs so maybe it's something with the forum. Real odd.

I HOPE THEY START MAKING THEM HERE ON DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (LOL)

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.

Has anyone confirmed the "Made in the Peoples Republic of China" rumor I posted?
I've seen a new Harley rumor.
