I highly doubt any were offered jobs in China. Darn shame but its happened everywhere. Best is to take best job you can and do what you can to see to it the jobs stay here.

There was also a group that was making a-arms for quads. Aluminum upper and moly lower along with shocks. Not sure what happened with them. Maz sold Dale parts for a while. Travis worked for ATK, BlackWidow and Highland. I imagine alot of the factory workers went elsewhere or went back to the Bicycle division untill that got sold to the Chinese. I think if I lived in Bedford it would be tough to move since it really beautiful country there. Hope they all found jobs.

I know Arens was making the stems and he did say something about possibly making a-arms, but don't remember hearing nothing about aluminum.
