snipped: "H.M. & S.S. Sachs" <sachs@erols.com> writes: "...The Cannondale story, as I recall it, starts with Cannondale as a niche mfg. of "soft" products like panniers. A young engineer from the Electric Boat Company (submarines, New London (?), CT) dropped by one day, with sketches for what became the C'dale bike frameset. They hired him, and learned to manufacture it."
