How do we know what is true regarding ATK and what is not true..

I really think Frank White should set up some type of conf call or post updates.

How I see it, Cannondale did the ground work, provided the product.

This website and the other one provided the R & D for free.. to ATK.

So ATK in the end is getting out of this cheap..

What you said about ATK getting out cheap is true.

But Frank has no responsibility to us what so ever. We would like to see him help us out but chances are he won't. It strictly business and you can't blame him. A small business really needs to look out for #1 first and everyone else second.

Just look at doug. He gets beat up all the time because of how he ran/runs the shop. Before, he would talk on the phone to anyone that would call but then he fell behind on the engines and got bitched at. So, he works on the engines and got a secratary and guess what. He gets bitched at! Can't win either way. We as consumers want it our way all the time. And it just isnt' going to happen.

What does all that mean or have to do with your comments? ATK will not go out of their way to keep the dales going. It wouldn't suprise me if when they run out of parts they become a parts warehouse of high $ parts and move on to something else. And no matter how much we would hate to see that happen we can't be mad at them when they do. Its business.

I heard the same thing....but saying it and doing it are two different things. I hope they get the parts made, we shall see.

Imagine what it will cost to make a head.
