If the Cannondale sale didn’t shake things up…

The sale of Specialized to GM certainly will. Yep, you heard that right, GM is now the owner of Specialized. The owner. Not a 49% shareholder or even 51%, but they got the whole kit and caboodle. If the thought of Cannondale being sold through Performance Bike shops was enough to throw the dealer industry into a tizzy, the thought of Specialized being sold through GM car dealerships will sure rattle some cages. “Specialized will maintain commitment to the IBD as well as now being available across the nation in GM dealerships” – Mike Sinyard. That’s going to go over well. Can you say electric bikes? April fools?

Just had this alarming image. Car salesmen selling bikes. You want a Hummer with that Epic?
