I live in Lansing, MI and need to find a good C'dale dealer.

Central Park Bike in Okemos used to deal them, but now claim that C'dales "financial problems" forced them to stop selling. I really like Riverside bike in Lansing, but they seem to have mostly older C'dale models and the last few times I have been in there, their staff was clueless and service was poor.

I would like to find a shop that has a better knowledge of the bikes and has more current models. I am willing to drive a bit to the shop if it's a good one. Please help.

P.S. One more question - Is C'dale still having financial problems or is that just a lame excuse from a disgruntled dealer?

Village Cyclery in Schoolcraft (just south of Kalamazoo) is probabaly about 1hr 15min from Lansing. It's a great shop and moves lots of bikes based on their service.

As far as Cannondale being in financial trouble, that's a very old issue that was left over from the days when they took a flyer into the motor cycle market, which was some years ago. They have the backing of a large holding company and are very solid.

Good luck.

Thank you for the recommendation. I bookmarked their webpage. I see they use fit kit, which I likely need.

If I don't find anyone closer, I will make the drive.

Team Active in Battle Creek is another option. Give them a call for current inventory of bikes at 800-841-9494, as for owners Mike or Steve.
