That article talks about a CAAD3. That model was after the cantilevered dropout design.
Funny enough, I own a CAAD3 frame and it's been my main road bike this year since Ive been too lazy to rebuild my actual main road bike.
I repainted the CAAD3, added a carbon fork, and slapped on 11sp Ultegra/105 components. Love the bike- it's a blast to ride.
My posts here aren't crapping on Cannondale. I really like my MUSA Cannondale frame. It just isn't inherently higher quality in finish or reliability simply due to having been made in the US.
