Hey guys,

I've been really wanting to test ride and perhaps purchase a 2009 Cannondale CAAD9 5 for my first bike, but i can't seem to find any shops in the surrounding areas that actually carry this series; was really hoping that wheelworks in belmont would have it since it's my local bike shop, but they only have the 2008 version. =\

Does anyone know a shop that carries the 2009 caad9-5 model?

In NH Goodales is a big C-Dale dealer. Their main store, and closest to you, is the one in Nashua, a mile or so off Rt. 3.

Their website only shows the 2008 as well, but it's worth a call. Best of luck.

yeah i called them myself over the weekend.

what's the deal with this. it seems like most shops stopped carrying the new cannondale and only have what's left from their previous order (2008s)

Cannondale is on its' way out. I also heard from several people that Sidi was on it way out the door, too. I guess that stores want lower prices and for the distributor to actually ship the product on a timely fashion to them. If they can't do it, then they are gone. Sidi is still holding on here - I think it is due to being a smaller part of the overall picture and the product moves so slowly - stores do not want to buy inventory for a different line of shoes such as DMT, northwave, etc.

Have you noticed how most of the stores only have Sidi or Specialized? What gives? Where do you find Carnac or Time shoes to try?
