Cannondale Slate

I really like the concept but it's a little goofy in execution, neither here nor there compared to mtb. Ability to fit 700c and a longer wheelbase/chainstay would've been the ticket. This is more a mtb with dropbars than a road bike in the end, which is a shame. Here's the geometry:

I think you missed the point on the Slate. Every assumption you made is wrong

I think it is a great bike. I love these new bikes/all road coming to market. The kid in me wants to jump off the road sometimes down the powerline right of way or the gravel road and see what is down there. With a simple tire pressure change you can make it super fun.
