Is the market for used bikes about to collapse? Woo hoo! I'm in a buying 
mood, and think the depreciation rates on road bikes are pathetic.

No, it's true. Not only did the company's creditors force Cannondale 
into bankruptcy proceedings, they also put a curse on company and all 
who patronized it. You can expect the world's supply of CAAD frames to 
start rusting from the insides and breaking, and all the Lefty forks 
will spin around until they get to the right side of the bike, Linda 
Blair-style.

Not taking any chances, I'm planning to use my bicycle for exorcise.
