My 2006 Cannondale Six13 is:

• The best racing bike I've ever ridden or owned

• Universally raved about by everyone I know who has ridden one

• Universally raved about in positive bicycle reviews

My LBS is selling the bejesus out of this bike. And they're currently back ordered 4-6 weeks. By those indications Cannondale would appear to be doing fairly well these days. But who really knows? The bike biz ain't easy. Which makes Trek's long term success building bikes domestically all the more impressive. They have been making money doing this for a couple of DECADES now.

I recall Cannondale's origins in the early 1970's when I was in high school. As I recall they started out making handlebar bags for touring bikes. They were in Connecticut.
