A few days have passed. Any response from PI yet? I keeep forgetting to look at Velonews in the LBSs so I feel I can't send them a letter directly until I see the ad. I do know that I was in a running/outdoor store earlier this week and mentioned the ad to one of the female clerks. Two other customers piped up that they had seen the ad and were boycotting PI in thorough disgust.

Since PI is now owned by Shimano, another one of the manufacturing bullies of the cycling world, I don't expect much. I was very saddened by the purchase from Nautilus. I have to suspect it was too much competition/conflict with Nike for them to reside under the same "roof."
