I've been meaning to cold set my frame for some time and this thread has convinced me to do it while being grateful my bike isn't aluminum.
I would love to try one of those Cannondales, but without the ability to ride 650b, forget it.
Hey, I've got nothing against those Cannondales. They'd be a good frame for a big, tall rider. But I hear you, you're limited on tire size on the road bikes, as I recall, the big, fat chainstays don't give enough room.
Be careful, take your time, and sneak up on the "spread". Everytime you give it a tug, measure drop out width and center.
You can do it!
