i just bought a used blaze at a dealership and the salesman was somewhat knowledgable about cannondales in general and know that ATK bought all the parts and all that jazz... but he told me that a company called " BERLIN" bought all of ATK's inventory and now they were in control of all the parts and there are located in Colorado... i had never heard this before so i couldnt dispute it... he said they purchased it about 45-60 days ago...
has anyone heard this news before ???:confused:

Interesting rumor - but I really doubt it. I'm still picking up parts in Centerville UTAH - and ATK seems to have the same amount of parts - both good and bad - that they have always had.

"Just the facts, Maam."

Maybe this Berlin bought out the stuff Nrel has been holding since the liquidation. Just a thought.

i dont know... he said they bought it from ATK... maybe he was just trying to throw me off the parts path... apparently he doesnt know as much as he thought he did

I have never heard of a company called BERLIN, and we have no intentions of selling all of our parts to anyone.

We need parts to manufacturer new MC's and ATV's and for replacement items.

Each week we have new parts made from the exixting Cannondale vendors and new vendors where we re-design the old parts.

Crazy rumor.

It would be nice to know the root of such talk however.
