The best part of this bike is that it doesn't say "cannondale" and "caad" 600 times on it.

I know mechanics will cringe at the internal cables.

If that was a real pro bike, the saddle would be level and that spacer on top of the steerer removed. That team needs some 41 advice.

And the bars are too high. The drops need to be level with the brake pads for the proper racer look.

People like this are pros and make money. Maybe we on the 41 should charge for our advice. We shouldn't be doing all this for free, especially for the top teams.

I like the cable routing and that they are finally using a shorter spacer below the stem. Straight fork is kind of nice too.

Shorter spacer clearly says supersix on it and is likely a holdover from cannondale mechanic and not coming with the bike proper.

If he's in the regular ride this weekend, I'll ask him what he thought. (The Incycle racers have been hit & miss lately with the race schedule). The boy can sprint!!! I can testify to that!

Prototype? Brings back memories . . .
We test rode C'dale's prototype tandem back in the mid-80s for 3 months. That was 2 years before it was available to the public and then only as a frameset.
There were no stickers/labels on the bike.

My hat's off to Dorel. When they bought Cannondale I thought they would flush it down the toilet like they did most of the brands they bought. I figured we'd see bicycle shaped objects with Cannondale labels in Wally World and the Big Zero. A lot of others on these forums believed the same. But they've really changed their business model and have kept Cannondale a true LBS bike and a real competitor. Bringing an AL bike back to the TDF would be a real achievement for them.
