No worries. We got it directly from the racer as a present (he's a neighbour). When he gets back from the World Championships we'll ask him what he knows about it.
The quality of the welds and the general fabrication of the frame suggests it has been very carefully hand made rather than it being an inferior product, but maybe all Cannondale road bikes are like this
I'm not so much interested in Cannondale's part in this as wondering who or what was Burnett. I haven't been able to find any reference to Burnett on the web. Burnett looks like a quality frame builder and yet there is nothing out there that I have been able to find. Or maybe it was a sub-brand of Cannondale's.
Tried to photograph the traces of the name but couldn't get a satisfactory photo.
