I was blown away by your blog because I never guessed it would be the company for sale.<br /><br />Cervelo is more famous in my mind than the Habs or the Leafs so I hope the company retains it's association with Canada and that White and Vroomen either hold on to it or remain involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-72164035777706923562012-01-11T06:53:49.926-08:002012-01-11T06:53:49.926-08:00Funny.

That would be far more preferable than getting to a more Phil Knight-like moment where its 'nurses shoes/kids bikes? WTF?? Give me back the helm'<br />PON does however have, low and mid-priced brands covered so we have to hope that if sold, they keep Cervelo as their bright shining star.Undieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419954925215799237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758090575418482333.post-29779941926900366972011-12-29T09:07:48.318-08:002011-12-29T09:07:48.318-08:00Great read Steve!

Having an industry giant in cycling has definitely helped raise the awareness of the sport in Canada. <br /><br />I guess we will have to wait and see if the business will remain in our country or if they will relocate based on PON’s strategic vision. I think I can still watch a Cervelo rider with Canadian pride if the bulk of the work is still being done by local talent.LARRY BRADLEYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313899199306917132noreply@blogger.com
