Likely in favor of selling complete bikes which is probably a good move for them from a cash point of view.

The good news is, I think, is you can get a complete bike with the normal wait time (2 months?). Otherwise Ebay is your best bet to get a frameset in any reasonable timeframe. They couldn't even give me an ETA on a 2011.

My LBS was pretty po'd because their stock is nearly gone and now they can't get new bikes for months and he's got to give me my $3K back. Black Mtn bikes in San Diego dropped C'dale a couple years ago for this same reason, difficulty getting stock. "Getting Specialized bikes, not a problem, can get one in two weeks" is what the owner told me. Makes sense when he put it that way.

I like Cannondale and will continue to buy their bikes but they've turned me off to waiting for a new one. My 2009 Synapse C3 may be my last new bike I buy from them. Too bad but that's business. I can't have my money tied up for 4 months with nothing to show for it. I wish them luck.
