I think the main topic is why Cannondale won't sell a new fork?
When they were local and made Alu bikes exclusivity I'm sure they would have. Its really hard to fathom why (when I was a young racer) the small bike brands who become big just don't follow their old policies... if you want to pay for replacement it should be cool, no matter how big you have become. The fact it was a generated emil would really **** me too...
