So they had a little recall...does not sound like the steerer failed, rather the ability to turn was impaired.
If you own one get it taken care of.
Never rode an Asian Cannondale. Have owned a couple of USA Cannondale tandems and still own 3 Cannondale USA MTB's. The past is the past, and it seems unlikely that a bicycle company like Cannondale USA will ever come forward again. Cannondale USA made mistakes and it cost them. They sat poised to pull it off, but failed. I enjoy their bicycles, and even spent some time on the Cannondale motorcycle. A few better choices and we would be praising their USA technology and products today. Oh well...
Fast forward to reality of today, I have repaired a bunch of Cannondale single road bikes with some form of carbon damage. They are some of the lowest quality frames I have had the chance to work on. The Cervelos as of now are the best quality I have seen. Yes there are more brands available to break, but Cervelo was very high quality. Kind of compares the current Cannondale to the Co-Motion, similar to comparing a Cannondale carbon road frame to the Cervelo.
You buy what you can afford and regardless enjoy it for every turn of the cranks.
Get those forks fixed regardless if Kinesis made them or it was someone else..
