Same thing's been happening to me. I like to pull out all the other bike companies owned by pacific cycles and rub it in their faces. It's great when some prick who things his bike is made by the best company ever but it turns out they're owned by the same company that owns the bike that they're bashing.
Dorel/Pacific Cycles may have had some growing pains early on and they're still trying to shake that big box store only image, but I think they are really taking a huge step in the right direction beginning with last year for both GT and Mongoose. Now that they've added Cannondale and are handling that as a seperate entity, well, one can only hope that they revive C-dale to their previous crazy concept days once again. I wholeheartedly applaud Dorel/Pacific for what they have been able to achieve in a short period of time and am glad that some investors are willing to step up and take the risk of trying to revive some legendary brands in the cycling world.
That's the way it was supposed to be. I'm not sure what happened. We're all a little confused, as of July EC was calling the DH bike the Pinn'r and now it's officially the boot'r. Oh well, it still rides sick.
If there's one paradox in the cycling industry that truly derves the brickwall/forehead combo, it's that! Makes no fugging sense! They ALMOST got it right...then WHAM! they put the stickers on the wrong bikes...
