Mate, you're the only touring Lefty Cannondaler, along with myself, that I know! That's a nice one you have there, a Rize?
And your girlfriend's KHS shares the geometry of my sweetheart's pink Cannondale Féminine (hers has a headshok, etc.).

I'd been contemplating a Rohloff & a SON dynamo (the SON delux, in red, most likely). Lamenting the non-existence of Lefty-compatible current generating solutions, a week ago I called Schmidt Original Nabendynamo to enquire if the matter could be addressed by some means or another. I was told that SON entertained the idea enough to sooner or later start a production of such a hub; that they had even approached Cannondale for co-operation, but the latter showed much reluctance. However, that didn't discourage SON. The man warned me that it would take a little while (well over a year, at any rate) but I ought not to despair, as such a dynamo was being conceived.

I'm saying this because, if you, too, like your Cannondale, but miss a portable device (such as a smartphone or a GPS unit) charging property, good dynamo lights (such as Schmidt Edelux, SuperNova E3 or IQ Cyo), etc. - it would make sense to show your support for the initiative by calling Schmidt.

Regards, and enjoy your upcoming journey
