Not sure why it was brought up then, but thank you for clearing it up.

I had a few hrs of unexpected free time this afternoon so I brought the bike in to my local Cannondale dealer. To my surprise, they think my 12 yr old cracked dropout may be a warranty issue. Talking maybe CAAD10 or 12 replacement depending on what C'dale has available. I am still expecting a moderate discount for a frame trade in but a new CAAD12 in black or red sure would be a nice Christmas present.

My 06 aluminum Lemond came down with a cracked chain stay this summer at 35,200 miles, Trek replaced the frame with a 2015 aluminum Madone. No hassles, Still I do miss the Lemond, really liked that frame.

The rest of the story. I heard from my LBS today that Cannondale is sending me a CAAD10 frame as warranty replacement for my cracked CAAD7. It took them a while to respond due to warranty department being closed over holidays. I am told the frame is black but the lbs didn't know whether graphics were also black or some combination of black and white. They said its "BBQ black". My internet searching on that scheme has me confused as to whether BBQ is a color scheme or a specific matte finish. Does anyone know?
Best guess is that its the scheme that was available on 2015 105 5 version (see pic)
I am surprised and pleased with c'dales decision to replace a 12 yr old frame. Cost will be 300.00 to LBS to swap components and for new braze on front derailleur
