Where do you get off comparing those comments to the writings of “great authors”?

I’m with Dirt on this one. The attacks are weak at best.

Emails from this thread keep popping up and its like a car crash - I cant help but read!

Just for statistical purposes, I think that Vic, Frank, Rider Dude et al are hillarious !
Old Dirty Gary - nice one - and makes me think that I should turn my mutton chops moustach into an ODG goatie, then go a Ride a C’dale - borrowed of course as I dont own one ( my wife does) - just to see if any unpleasant emotions are released !

Its also hillarious that ODG seems to relate clever and funny written posts with sexual frustration….mmm, can think of some great authors who were renouned for their gratuitous excess in this area….

Och What am i doing - lets talk 29er bikes !!

I am feeling a bit guilty for hurting ODG’s feelings enough that he took his ball and went home.

Sorry Gary, next time I will join you in protecting riders from the dreaded left eye patch. I have taken off my foil helmet because now it seems less funny and makes me feel bad. Please, accept my humble apology.

RE: Taylor57

People love the Mary, but don’t pass-up chekcing out the MC29er either. It’s a killer bike for the price.

I remember reading MBaction that the Carbon Rush was built in Taiwan, oh well at least it is Taiwan and not China. I guess C’dale people are like Apple people, extremely loyal no matter what…shoot, I own a Mac, 2 ipods and 2 C’dale I’m doubly cursed! I should open a bike shop that sells C’dales in my area, but wait …I would have to move because there are already 2 dealers within 10 miles of my house, the San Diego REI and Black Mtn Bikes…

back on subject please…being 6′2″ I very interested in the 29″ Scalpel any new info please post!

lastly I have a bike shop by my work and they helped built my bike C’dale, but they are more a BMX shop selling Haro’s and Redlines. Well don’t own a 29″ and thought I buy the Haro MAry SS from them, the post here are screwed up regarding the Mary any comments?

:/ I’m really sorry for making you guys try so dang hard. I didn’t mean to give everybody headaches from trying to come up with all this bs.

I’m gonna stop now. Once again, I’m sorry for making you guys try so hard. It was a valliant effort, though.

You all get gold stars for trying.. Good day to you all

Maybe with the extra proceeds of the charity ride to combat ODG syndrome we could also get him some basic math skills. hopefully the evil capitalist aliens at Cannondale didn’t damage him so severely that all this book learning is of no use.

There Goes ODG again making more ad homenim statements. Did the Aliens tell you to drop Cdale from your shop? Did they also tell you that Cdale was secretly sneeking, taiwan built frame’s to their bedford facility; where they slap a made in USA sticker on it.
For the record ODG, you my friend have statistically posted the most out of any one on this thread. If you ever want to move out of your parents basement and get some dates; you, not us my friend need to spend less time posting.
Also for the record six people by my count dont agree with you, not just two, and seven if you count GT for slapping you around for language problems.

Most of what Cannondale produces is still built in the US. True some are built in Taiwan, but just the carbon stuff. From what I am told the Carbon bikes will be built here as well. The shop I work at never dropped Cannondale when they reorganized and I am sure glad we didnt. There bikes are now better than ever! Bottom line, it is great to see another manufacturer looking into making a full suspension 29er. We need more so we have a better selection. I think the Scalpel is a great bike and I cant wait to get my hands on a 29er Scalpel.

“They aren’t built in PA anymore, they really aren’t entirely built in CT where they moved the facility after they went BANKRUPT!”

You are kidding again right? Go back to my earlier post with pictures from the plant in Bedford, PA where they still build the bikes. http://www.cannondalemidwest.com/modules.php?name=gallery2&g2_itemId=2125

But then I was responsible for the fake moon landing pictures as well
