Stop looking at it right now- Get the catalogue and do your drooling over that and get it out of your system. Then tomorrow- you can go back into the shop and not ruin a perfectly good frame by making it dirty. Either that or wear a kiddies bib whenever you look at the real thing.
Don't know if it applies to drool- but if you lick it- It's yours.
Now as to that cannondale- I have yet to find an aluminium Cannondale that does not require Full Suspension. And that includes the road bikes aswell. Harsh ride but a responsive bike that is a joy to ride. C.F. would probably take the bite out of the saddle and hopefully not affect the quality of handling.
