Look what made its way into our shop the other day...

 

[jack123]

have you ridden in it? if so hows it feel.

Mmmm mmmm.... It's fast. And light. And stiff. And - oh god, need to change my boxers....

 

[manziman]

lol, good job dexter. damn I need one....hell, just look at the new can-non-dalé it's gorgeous!

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

i need one.

 

[vitox]

i have tried to like it but i cant, i still find it hideous, might be a really nice bike but i think its ugly, uglier than the old marins even.

 

[MMcG]

Wow that's pretty damned cool if you ask me - where is your shop Dexter?? Is tht the top of the line in the prophet line up?

I stumbled upon this site that has specs on the bikes:
http://www.cannondaleprophet.com/
problem is, it's not a C'Dale site, so I'm not 100% sure it's accurate.
Look like nice rides though.

Ill have to agree! Maybe it will grow on me.

Must be, with the X.0 rear derailleur...

 

[The Kadvang]

The MTN X version looks SWEET. Funny though, its got an E-13 guide without the bashguard. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

 

[OGRipper]

Makes sense, for mountain cross, dual slalom, etc., you don't really need a bashguard and can save some weight.

 

[Silver]

That fork is fugly...

 

[mobius]

Get rid of the lefty and you got a winner.

 

[Dingus McGee]

Wow.....the Heckler (Conejo, whatever) lives on and on and on...........the "optimized" single-pivot won't die.

OK, ok they threw in the Killer-V superfluous top tube for techno-bling.

Yea thats right, I've seen MRPs and such like that, but never an E13, maybe cuz their bashguards are soo damn pimpin.

Could be the elusive 3RS.
Evil guys want to check in on that one?

 

[kidwoo]

An e13 chainguide won't work without a bashguard.....at least the single ring system won't. The plastic tab that sits at 12 o'clock creates a barrier with the bashguard keeping the chain "inside" where it's supposed to be. The fourcross version in the pictures DOES have a bashguard on it. It's a clear one so it may be hard to see.

Yeah, thats what I thought. The e13 guys told me their bashguard is an integral part of the guide and thats why it might not work as well with say an MRP guard. You're right though, I can see it now. Good eye buddy

 

[Lightninleana]

I've got one too. Mine is the four cross version, it's super nice. At snowmass I qualified on my jekyell on Friday and then on Friday afternoon the Prophet showed up. I looked at it and was like hell ya I want to race it. So my dad and I spent like five hours that night transfering everything from one bike to the other. I raced it on Saturday and I got my first pro win on it... that's how sweet it is. It's so responsive in the corners, and the shorter back end makes it much easier to manual. In short it quickly became one of my favorite bikes, and I completely recomend it for four cross.
I have a picture of it on my website... http://www.leanagerrard.com/photos/default.asp?ShowSub=Four cross

 

[dexterq20]

I work at a shop in Pleasant Hill, CA (SF Bay Area). That's the Prophet 2000, so it's the upper-mid range model. It's not for sale though, that bike belongs to our Cannondale rep. It retails for about $2600. The Prophet 4000 is the top of the line model, and it goes for $4000.

Must be, with the X.0 rear derailleur...

Nope, that's actually the new X.9 derailleur. They just changed the colors on it, but it's still the same mechanism.

Get rid of the lefty and you got a winner.

So... a fork that weighs under 4 lbs, gets 5.5" of travel, and has SPV damping isn't a good fork? Damn, you coulda fooled me.

Yeah, that site's legit. That's all the same literature our C-dale rep showed us when he brought in his Prophet. You're right, it's definitely not an official site, but that's all the official info. Good work Watson!

But wait... what's he drooling over? Is he... naw, couldn't be...

Quit drooling ben.

dammit, now the janitor is going to have to mop up that ****.

I saw you at whistler this year......... no I am not a stalker

 

[kidwoo]

Careful.....one is too new and untested and most likely the other was still only made in the 80's

What a coincidence! I was made in the 80's too!

i agree, single pivot designs live on...

i disagree w/ your 'superfluous top tube' comment. it doesn't take my Ph.D. in engineering to understand why double diamond front ends (e.g. Ventana, c-dale, etc.) are able to achieve a good combination of stiffness, strength (incl. the shock mount area), low standover height, and light weight. if you need it explained, lemme know.

she can use my lefty suspension any day...man that was bad, ok back to packing golf clubs

OK, maybe for the 'standover' (who really stands over a bike anymore?),
but c'mon, my Bullit and Heckler are basically the same design and have a single, albeit gusseted, toptube. I think there are equal parts 'look different' and strength/lightness involved there. Just my opinion, if course,
no net engineering intended

Heyyyyyy maybe i'll meet up with you at durango! But ahh.....I guess I cant talk to you for too long since you ride for cannondale and all

 

[Curb Hucker]

im seeing a pattern here, every time leanna posts, there happens to be about 10 posts following hers saying how all of you want to go out with her, but hey there aint nothing wrong with that

LEANA, WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?

 

[Curb Hucker]

you pulled a typo ben you meant to say

My name is Ben and im a homosexual, you should go out with VV

 

[dexterq20]

Are you hitting on me?

 

[Lightninleana]

Haha... I know I try to make serious posts and talk about bikes and everything, put in my two cents, but as soon as I post the topic changes from the bike to other things. Maybe that's why I don't post that often.
Focus guys, try to stay on topic.
