I am not saying that cannondale or any other brand is fragile or not. But your statement is a bit fragile with cedric here.... pro-bikes dont count as strong or whatever...just because a pro can have and will have a new frame/fork/bike the next day he needs it and he wont have to care about stress on the frame. Normal riders like us care for a bike to last more than a few days. A pro doesnt. Cannondales are sweet looking to me....good attention to detail but i strongly dislike both the lefty and the headshock. Sometimes innovation is bad ...if overdone. Other than that...this new street ht looks nice...but i dont see any reason for someone getting it unless there is company loyalty. After all, a ht is a ht...nothing more nothing less...pick your material, your geometry and your company and you are done...
