Interesting. Thx for letting us know this.
Depends the type of management style and how new CEO will use the expertise of others who really know the tough business of bike design, retailing, etc.
Wonder for Georgena if this also a clue to the challenge she must have had in terms of succession planning.

I'm getting visions of fluffy saddles!
One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

Wow! Moving to Vermont, too.
17 to 20 new jobs for Vermont, but I can't help wondering how many jobs are being lost by people who can't relocate?
I'd like to see the company expand but I worry about the way they've run things up 'til now. I mean I can call them anytime and get an engineer, people can get info about old Terry models. When I tried to get the specs for my 96 Trek in 2005, Trek blew me off totally.
I guess we'll see.By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

I'm with ZenS, getting info from Terry was so easy. I emailed asking about changing my flat bar Classic to one with drops. Georgina emailed me back and we had a good conversation about what I needed to do. I was impressed.

I was also very impressed to get a personal email from Georgena regarding a problem I was having with a pair of shorts. I do hope that they will continue to provide the level of service they have had in the past.
