And I’m sorry, a CARBON CRACKENFAIL MOUNTAIN FRAME?!?! Eff that noise….

I’ll ride a MGX before I’ll ride one of those… Wait! Same company!! Nevermind.

Well, at least we count on a little better quality now that they’re made overseas…

Lefty…. groan…

This is a great lineup! I was thinking about buying the Flash Carbon 29er but that singlespeed looks like it is exactly what I have been wanting for a SS setup. Cannondale could see a lot of my money going to them this coming year from me. Maybe I should buy stock in the company.

After 3 years riding an original Bear Naked Cannondale 29er edition Caffeine, it is time to wind down my time with the rig and gear up for the next step! Cant wait.

oderus, thanks for the info

Does anyone know what the difference/downside of using the standard mod carbon v. hi-mod carbon? And what that translates to for a larger rider, say 6′3″, 210lbs, like me ; )

Yancy, cost is going down because production is going overseas. The lower grade carbon is also helping to keep that price in check.

So let me see here, the new carbon flash 29er is better spec’d and will cost the same as my 08 f29 1. Hmmm, my love/hate relationship with Cannondale continues – for now. . .

captain bob: I haven’t seen any data on the geometry, but you might also notice that the 29er 4 with the RST fork is set at 80mm, leaving me to believe that the frames, (which are all new from the ground up, by the way) are indeed designed around a shorter axle to crown. We’ll see…….

Very nice looking lineup for 2010. Do you know if they kept their same geometry for this year as well? If so, wouldn’t that rigid fork need to be about 490mm axle/crown?

Thanks for the another sneak peek.
