I was looking at buying a burley off e-bay and was wondering if it was compatable with the cannondale T800 frame? I asked my lbs and he said it "should" be. I was hoping for a more concrete answer before I buy one.

Thanks,
Jacob

Burley hitch system fits in the rear triangle where seat stay and chain stay come together. It will work on the Cannondale, and any bike with traditional design. No "should" about it.

I took a look at one of their flat bed trailers yesterday, very good design. Is it true those guys are going out of business? Somebody posts that they are once every few months, but their website is still up.

It's pretty grim over there, they are working on getting more funding, and waiting to see how the season ends up for sales. If things continue as is, they will only be open for a few more months. This info from the local newspaper.
