Uh, this happened four years ago. All the tandems Cannondale has been selling since were leftover U.S. production. That is why the only color has been white.

New production is very good news, as there need be a new frame design, the latest RT2 iteration dating from the early 2000's? A CAD engineered tandem frame from the same people that produce the legendary CAAD-10 has the potential to immediately be both the best and least expensive aluminum tandem frame.
