    Cannondale Stealth Bike

    Yeah, but that's because you know what you're looking at ;)

    Cannondale Stealth Bike

    It's a top end city commuter. Flat bar road bikes are gaining serious momentum and I think it is an attempt to take the simpler look of some of these bikes and add some serious style. The whole stealth concept makes sense as who would want a commuting bike that is so bling it gets stolen the...

    Cannondale Stealth Bike

    That bike is hanging out at the Cadence flagship location in NYC. If you are ever in NY it is worth checking out. It is quite possibly the finest bike shop I have ever been in.

    chase dual susser

    I think he is smart enough and mature enough to say "well nice try but this thing sucks" if it really was a bad idea. I doubt he would put his career in jeopardy by riding an inferior product.

    chase dual susser

    Well it's a slope style bike. From what he says in his interviews it does the job quite well as it has the same GEO / maneuverability as his hard tail but with 3 inches of squish for softer landings.

    chase dual susser

    It was his napkin sketch that created this thing. As far as I know, he loves it. Besides that, I don't get how people say it's ugly. The only visible difference between this and his regular hardtail is the headshok action. Seems pretty alright to me!

    Commencal branded formula front hub parts

    Formula made the hubs for Cannondale and they were crap. They would blow up constantly. It is a shame because companies get pre-production samples that rock and then when it comes time to pump out a couple thousand hubs they cut corners and wheels fall apart. Pretty lame on the part of...

    Cannondale Rise and Moto bikes. . .

    Uhh the guy said older Gemini, not original (there's been 3 variations now) Thats a bike only a select few have ridden, so how can that guy say the linkage has made a difference? Sorry bro doesn't count. The production Gemini didn't have a linkage and that was what I was talking about...

    New to the area, lookin' for some beta

    Brewster is good. Be careful in Carmel as there is a land dispute going on and you can get a hefty ticket if you are caught in an off limits area. The trails behind Cannondale are super tech and quite fun. There are trails at Tarrywile park in Danbury, trails at Bear Mountain park in New...

    a big F U to the tool behind the new HT design

    Yep it's a very "apple" thing to do. But it is nothing new. When your fuel injector breaks on your honda, they replace it with a honda part. They don't put a toyota fuel injector in there. It also helps with Warranty in that it discourages people to from putting a Super Monster or some other...

    a big F U to the tool behind the new HT design

    These bikes are all intended to be sold as a complete package. It is one stop shopping and making things custom helps keep parts "in the family" so people will always need to replace broken stuff with the same stuff. Business wise it makes sense as it limits what can be put on your bike...

    Whats your anthem?

    Yep, been into Drum and Bass for a looong time. Was listening to more metal until I heard an Andy C Essential Mix from '05. I heard Pendulum on that and had to get as much of their music as possible. They are soooo good. I have all the singles you mentioned. I can't wait for the album it is...

    Whats your anthem?

    Pendulum - Hold Your Color Meshuggah - Bleed (live version is all I could find) Bloodsimple - Dead Man Walking (all music no video :( )

    ...Umm, Duncan Riffle...

    I think Duncan along with Sam Dale and Joost Wichman are going to be a good mix between the crazy party style of Cedric Gracia and the ultra conservatism of Mick Hannah. Having some out going guys promoting Cannondale without the over the top shenanigans will probably do them some good in the...

    ...Umm, Duncan Riffle...

    Condom sponsors is very UFC. It ups your bad assness 10 fold because not only are you kicking ass and getting chicks, but you are smart and responsible at the same time and everyone likes that.

    Mixed feelings...

    I gave an ex-girlfriend my old f1000 woody. She rode it all over tempe arizona and one day some jerk off stole it from out front of a borders book store. It was locked up and everything. It really makes me mad because whoever took it would have gotten the same money for a POS bike as he did...

    Cannondale Rise and Moto bikes. . .

    The Gemini did not have any linkage at all. So that argument is no longer valid. If you meant the judge, then that linkage was still different. The shock forces went from the swingarm to the scissor link to the front triangle. The shock forces on the Moto start and end on the swingarm. It...

    Cannondale Rise and Moto bikes. . .

    What is sinking about them? They make money, have cool bikes, support awesome riders....I think a sinking ship would be out of cash, not sell anything, have no teams, and fire all it's employees... I guess I was right...It is just the cool thing to hate on them... As for the bikes. They...

    Cannondale Rise and Moto bikes. . .

    Are they ugly because they don't look like your bike? Or is it because they are Cannondale's and it is cool to hate on Cannondale in any way possible? If Cannondale had a mom I'd hate to hear what you would say about her...

    Good News or Bad News for Cannondale?

    Hmm, where did you hear that from, Specialized? Seriously though. Cannondale has been financially stable ever since Pegasus took them over after the bankruptcy. The rumor mill is always a flurry with wrong info.
