Cannondale bikes cheaper than last year
so I'm looking at the new cannondale CAAD 9 5 and last years CAAD 9 Optimo 2. Both seem equally equiped at first glance. However the 2008 CAAD 9 5 is about 300 bucks lesss.
What am I missing? Did they lower the quality of some of the components?

The optimo 3 for 07 had 105, the CAAD9 5 looks the same. What is the price? 1300? That's how much I paid for mine, I bought it for the 08 price I believe.

A friend of a friend who works at a chain LBS said the new Cannondales are a couple hundred bucks lower than last year. His thought on it is that it was intentional to give them a little bit more of a edge as imported (yeah, i read those threads too) bikes edged up this year. The price he told me for a DA Super6 was awesome, it's high on my test ride list now if not the top.
